New Delhi: Misa Bharti, the eldest daughter of Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, is leaving no stone unturned in convincing the voters of Pataliputra Lok Sabha constituency for making her victorious in upcoming parliamentary elections.Misa Bharti will be filing her nomination papers tomorrow i.e. March 26.When Lalu Prasad declared the candidature of Misa Bharti from Pataliputra Lok Sabha seat, his close confidante Ram Kripal raised the banner of revolt.Ram Kripal was one of the staunchest supporters of Lalu Prasad and stood by him throughout ups and downs in Lalu's career.Ram Kripal Yadav was interested in contesting from Pataliputra LS seat that is dominated by Yadav voters but Lalu's preference for his daughter left Ram Kripal crestfallen. Ram Kripal is now contesting from Pataliputra on a BJP ticket.Misa initially tried to mollify Ram Kripal and visited his house saying she was confident of winning over her uncle. She went to the extent of saying that she was prepared to leave the seat for her dearest uncle.Misa with daughter GauriBut Lalu Prasad refused to go back on his decisionand Ram Kripal termed Misa's visit an ‘emotional atyachar'. An infuriated Misa changed her mind and decided to takeRam Kripal head on.Now Misa is busy with her campaign and is visiting each and every corner of Pataliputra Lok Sabha seat. She is relying on the support of women of the constituency apart from the traditional Yadav supporters of the constituency.Misa is also facing a tough challenge from yet another uncle – Ranjan Prasad Yadav – who is contesting on JD(U) symbol. Ranjan Yadav , once upon a time, was supposed to be the master strategist for Lalu.The three way division of Yadav votes does not augur well for Misa. Not only this, there were murmurs of noted muscleman Reetlal Yadav, presently behind bars, also contesting the LS elections from the same seat. The news of Reetlal mulling over contesting elections made lalu jittery and he visited Reetlal Yadav's father and urged him to stop Reetlal from contesting LS seat as it will further divide Yadav votes.Reetlal's father has assured Lalu that he will try and convince Reetlal.One thing is for sure, Lalu is widely perceived as having lost his magic and stiff challenges from veterans like Ram Kripal and Ranjan Yadav has made things difficult for her daughter Misa in upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
