Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav, who has always been attracted to dress like Lord Krishna and play the flute or blow the conch shell, has now started a new business in the name of his parents – Bihar’s Former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi.
Tej Pratap has launched a range of scented incense sticks under the brand name ‘LR’.
He has also opened a showroom to market the brand.

RJD supporters are calling the ‘LR’ brand – Lalu and Rabri brands as the names of former chief ministers start with these letters. However, it is being said that the real name of the brand is ‘Tallest and Richest’.
Tej Pratap has started the work of making incense sticks from flowers in his father’s gaushala (Lalu Khatal) in Danapur and Patna.
A showroom has also been set up to sell these incense sticks. However, the most surprising thing is that showrooms have not been built in any malls, shopping complexes or markets but in Gaushalas (khatals) in Danapur and Patna.
The gaushalas, which were earlier reserved for the RJD supremo’s cows and buffaloes, now look after the manufacture of incense sticks. When the incense sticks are ready, they are decorated in the showroom for sale.
Tej Pratap, who often visits the gaushalas to take stock of the work done, also inquires about the same over the phone.
The most important thing is that the flowers offered in the temples are used to make incense sticks. Also, the wood used in these incense sticks is not bamboo but coconut leaves. It has been claimed that no chemicals have been used in these incense sticks.
The incense sticks prepared in these cowsheds are of different fragrances, which have been named as Krishna Leela Agarbatti, Barsana Agarbatti and Seva Kunj Agarbatti.
Apart from incense sticks, many things related to worship are sold in the showroom.
RJD’s election symbol lantern is hanging in the ‘LR’ showroom of these cowsheds.
