Patna - "She is most suitable for politics," RJD Spokesperson Shakti Yadav said.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad's daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, wife of his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, is all set to enter politics in Bihar, a party leader said on Wednesday.
A day ahead of the Foundation Day celebrations of the Rashtriya Janata Dal here, Aishwarya has got a prominent place along with Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi on party posters and banners.
Tej Pratap, 29, had married Aishwarya in May.
"What if she has decided to join politics. Aishwarya is educated and belongs to a political family.
Her father Chandrika Rai is a former Minister and senior RJD leader whereas her grandfather Daroga Rai was the Chief Minister in the 70s. She is most suitable for politics," RJD Spokesperson Shakti Yadav said.
