Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party for six years and also removed him from the family, a development that comes after Tej Pratap Yadav, on his Facebook page, was seen with a woman who the caption referred to as his girlfriend.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav told reporters, “We cannot tolerate such things, we are working and are dedicated to the people of Bihar. If it’s about my big brother, political life and personal life are different. He has the right to make his personal decisions. He is an adult and free to make decisions. Our party’s chief has made it clear, and ever since he has said so, it is his feelings. We didn’t question such things… What he is doing in his personal life, nobody asks before doing anything. I have come to know about it via the media only.”
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that his Facebook page had been “hacked”, after a post on the social media platform said he was “in a relationship” with a young woman.
The elder son of RJD president Lalu Prasad, whose Facebook post has since been deleted, wrote on X on Saturday evening that there was an attempt to “defame and harass” him and his family members.
“My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully,” Yadav said, referring to the post that had gone viral and was taken note of by media outlets.
In the post, Yadav was seen with a woman and the caption read, “The one seen in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have been known to each other for the last 12 years. We are in love and have been in a relationship for 12 years”.
