Banerjee visited the Yadav family at the hospital and expressed her happiness, saying, “I knew beforehand… His wife has been here (in Kolkata) since the last nine months, and they (Yadav family) have constantly been in touch with me… This is a very joyful occasion for Tejashwi’s family. Lalu ji and Rabri ji are also here and are very happy. I wish peace and prosperity to the family. With elections approaching, this child brings good fortune.”
