Patna, Nov. 4 -- Janshakti Janata Dal chief Tej Pratap Yadav who is contesting from Mahua constituency in Bihar has said that his younger brother Tejashwi Pratap Yadav was "still a child" and that the time to give him a rattle (a metaphor for giving him responsibility) will come only after the Assembly elections in the State.

Tej Pratap was responding to a question related to the poll campaign in Mahua of Tejashwi Yadav, who is the Mahagathbandhan's Chief Ministerial nominee. The JJD chief further said that considering that Tejashwi had campaigned in his constituency he will in turn go to Raghopur from where Tejashwi was contesting.

"Bachaa hai, chunaav baad usko jhunjhuna pakdayenge. ... If he goes to our area, we'll go to his area too...
