Early life and personal life
Yadav is the second eldest son of the former chief minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav. He studied until 9th class from DPS R K Puram. He dropped out of school without completing his school education due to his love for the sport of cricket. At the R.K. Puram, New Delhi, Yadav took a keen interest in the sport of cricket and became captain of the school team. He has been criticised by the opposition leaders for becoming Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar despite being a school dropout. But he is a good orator in both English and Hindi. This was well appreciated and widely acknowledged during his first speech as an opposition leader of the state of Bihar.
