Lalu Yadav Takes Strong Action After Tej Pratap Yadav's Revelation of 12-Year-Old Relationship.
Bihar Politics: Bihar's political landscape has once again heated up. Lalu Prasad Yadav, the RJD chief, has expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from both the party and the family. This action is attributed to Tej Pratap's public disclosure of a 12-year-old relationship and subsequent viral social media posts. This entire sequence of events has caused a major stir in Bihar's political arena. While the JDU has taken a jibe at Lalu Yadav's decision, Tej Pratap's sister, Rohini Acharya, has voiced her support for her father's action.
Tej Pratap Yadav's Revelation Creates Uproar
Last Saturday, Tej Pratap Yadav created a buzz in Bihar's politics by posting on his social media account. In this post, he shared pictures with Anushka Yadav, claiming a 12-year relationship. This post raised questions about his 2018 marriage to Aishwarya Rai. Though the post was deleted shortly after, pictures of Tej Pratap and Anushka had already gone viral. Tej Pratap clarified that his account was hacked and AI-generated images were used, but the damage was already done.
Tej Pratap Expelled from Party and Family
Following this controversy, RJD supremo Lalu Yadav took a firm decision. He publicly announced Tej Pratap Yadav's expulsion from both the party and the family. Lalu Yadav stated that Tej Pratap's irresponsible behavior, public conduct, and disregard for ethical values contradicted the party and family traditions. Lalu clarified that to ensure the fight for social justice remains b, Tej Pratap's expulsion was necessary.
JDU's Snipe: Why Was Lalu Silent on the "Mahapap" with Aishwarya?
The JDU has launched a sharp attack on Lalu Yadav's decision. Rajiv Ranjan, the JDU's national spokesperson, stated, "Lalu Ji is misleading people before the elections. Why wasn't his conscience stirred when the 'mahapap' (great sin) with Aishwarya occurred? This is merely a drama. Tej Pratap will return to the party after the elections are over." This statement has further intensified the political climate ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections. The party considers this a significant question mark against the RJD's credibility.
Rohini Acharya Supports Her Father's Decision
Tej Pratap Yadav's sister, Rohini Acharya, has also commented on the controversy. Supporting her father's decision, she stated, "Those who respect family dignity, tradition, and upbringing are never questioned. However, those who engage in undignified conduct invite criticism themselves. Papa is like a god to us, our family is our temple, and the fight for justice that Papa has fought in society is our worship. We will not tolerate any threat to this fight."
Tej Pratap Yadav's Stand?
So far, no concrete statement has emerged from Tej Pratap Yadav's side. He deleted his post and claimed his account was hacked. However, his explanation hasn't satisfied the public. Social media users are questioning why the post was made in the first place, if it was all fabricated. Will Tej Pratap be able to regain the trust of his party and family with his explanation?
