Walk into this motorcycle store called Lara,short for Lalu-Rabri

While the word Lara immediately brings to mind West Indies legend Brian Lara,Tej has no association with cricket,unlike younger brother Tejaswi,who has been a member of the Delhi Daredevils IPL team for the last five seasons without playing a single match.

Tej,24,who is a student of political science at Patna’s B N College,is more interested in flying. He is a member of the Patna Flying Club. He is a also a devotee of Lord Krishna.

Politics too has apparently never crossed the low-profile Tej’s mind. Tejaswi had,on the other hand,campaigned for the RJD in the 2010 assembly elections.

Aurangabad RJD leader Ajay Kumar Sinha is the local “caretaker” of the motorcycle agency. With Tej Pratap needing to divide his time between the motorcycle shop,college and the flying club,Sinha will be running the business. “I am just helping Tej Pratap,” Sinha said.

Asked about the surprising choice of Aurangabad,a close Lalu aide said,“Aurangabad is a growing place and quite an untapped one. It would also mean that Tej can work peacefully,away from the media glare.”
