Patna: A day after leader of opposition in the state assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, was blessed with a baby boy, RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his wife, Rabri Devi, named their grandson “Iraj”. Tejashwi and his wife, Rajshree, however, named the baby “Iraj Lalu Yadav”.Lalu, however, no longer uses his surname Yadav.The baby was born at a Kolkata hospital on Tuesday, which in Hinduism is dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Tarun Kumar, former head of the Hindi department in Patna University, said the name ‘Iraj’ has Persian origin, meaning “shining like a sun”.The name of the baby was announced by Lalu through his X handle on Wednesday. “So, our granddaughter Katyayani’s little brother is named ‘Iraj’ by me and Rabri Devi,” Lalu wrote in his social media post on Wednesday.Explaining the reason behind naming his grandson Iraj, Lalu said, “Katyayani was born on Katyayani Ashtami, the sixth day of auspicious Navratri and this little bundle of joy is born on Bajrang Bali Hanuman Ji’s Mangal day of Tuesday, therefore naming him ‘Iraj’.”Thanking everyone for their best wishes and blessings, Lalu said that the newborn and his mother are doing well and in good health.
