From Minister to expulsion: The Tej Pratap Yadav story

Описание: Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his eldest son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from both the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the family. In a rare and scathing public statement, Lalu said that Tej Pratap’s actions and behaviour do not align with the family’s values or the party’s commitment to social justice.

This dramatic fallout comes after a viral social media post—allegedly from Tej Pratap’s account—claimed a 12-year relationship with a woman. Tej Pratap called it a hack. But this is just the latest chapter in a decade-long series of controversies involving him—from spiritual eccentricities and a failed marriage, to party rebellion and public outbursts.

As Bihar heads to the polls, Lalu's move seems aimed at strengthening the RJD’s image under Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership. But will it help the party, or deepen family fractures the BJP is already eyeing?
