Yadav said Arun Bharti, BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate from Jamui, is the brother-in-law-of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan and son of former legislator Jyoti. He added Sushil Kumar Singh and Vivek Thakur, BJP’s candidates from Aurangabad and Nawada, are sons of former members of Parliament Ram Naresh Singh and C P Thakur.

Yadav said Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi’s son, Santosh Kumar Suman, is NDA’s nominee from Gaya. He added BJP and NDA candidates from Patna Sahib, Sasaram, Samastipur, Sheohar, Hajipur, and West Champaran are also from political families.
