In a recent development, Tej Pratap Yadav, son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, has hinted at a potential legal battle, possibly escalating the ongoing family dispute to the Supreme Court. Through a post on X, he issued a veiled warning, stating his intention to ‘end what they started.’ This follows Lalu Prasad Yadav’s decision to expel Tej Pratap from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for six years, a move reportedly accompanied by his removal from the family’s inner circle. The expulsion was attributed to Tej Pratap’s public behavior. The post included a picture of Tej Pratap in a white kurta and green cap, appearing to be contemplating his father’s picture.
Tej Pratap’s message, translated, reads: ‘Those who mistake my silence for weakness, do not assume I am unaware of your conspiracies. You started it, I will end it. I am going to break this labyrinth of lies and deceit; be ready, the truth is about to come out. My role will be determined by my beloved people and the honorable Supreme Court, not by any party or family…’
Tej Pratap has maintained a distance from his family since the Anushka Yadav controversy. Analysts suggest his recent post indicates he is prepared to confront his family, particularly with the upcoming Bihar elections. Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav, when questioned about his brother’s expulsion, stated that his elder brother has the right to make his personal decisions and that political and personal lives are distinct.
The article also revisits the controversies surrounding Tej Pratap, including a Facebook post with Anushka Yadav, which he later claimed was hacked. Furthermore, it mentions his divorce proceedings with Aishwarya Rai, who has accused him of abuse. The social media response to Tej Pratap’s post has been varied. One user questioned the connection with the Supreme Court and urged Tej Pratap to consider the impact on the party. Aishwarya Rai’s reaction to her expulsion was also noted, with her expressing that the timing of the move seemed politically motivated and that she was kept out of the loop regarding her divorce. Aishwarya comes from a family with a strong political background.
