Today’s Current Affairs: Lalu Prasad’s Daughters in Tough Poll Battles
In today’s current affairs, we focus on the Lok Sabha elections in Bihar where Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad’s two daughters, Misa Bharti and Rohini Acharya, are contesting from challenging seats against BJP rivals. Rohini, making her electoral debut from Saran, is seeking guidance from her father, who won the seat four times. On the other hand, Misa is making her third attempt to win Pataliputra, against Ram Kripal Yadav, Lalu’s former aide.
