Notably, these figures exclude the amount of money that he and his wife, Rajshree Yadav, have kept aside for their two children—Iraj Lalu Yadav, who is barely a few months old, and Katyayani Yadav, who is nearly two years old.
According to the affidavit, Tejashwi has kept aside roughly Rs 31.70 lakhs for his daughter and property worth Rs 8.99 lakhs for his son.
This is in addition to gold kept aside for the children as well—gold worth approximately Rs 17 lakhs and silver worth Rs 85,000 for Katyayani; gold worth approximately Rs 8.56 lakhs and silver worth Rs 42,500 for Iraj.
The RJD leader, who disclosed in the affidavit that he studied only up to Class 9, has listed the source of his income as social work.
He also has multiple cases against him, registered at police stations in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Maharashtra, in addition to cases registered with the CBI, ED, and a Delhi court.
Tejashwi now eyes a hat-trick in his third time contesting from the Raghopur assembly constituency. His party is part of the INDIA bloc, which is pitted against the ruling NDA alliance in the Bihar elections. |
