Tej Pratap Yadav, the head of the RJD, was ousted from the party six years ago over controversy around a since-deleted social media post on his relationship status. RJD founder and patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav said that “ignoring moral values” in one’s personal life undermines the community’s fight for social justice when he announced his decision to exclude his older son from the party. “The actions, demeanor, and careless behavior of the older son are inconsistent with the principles of our family.

I take him out of the family and the party under the present situation. He will no longer be involved with the family or the party. The experienced leader said that he had been kicked out of the party for six years.

According to Lalu Yadav, his son is capable of making choices about his private life. “Anyone may choose on their own whether or not to stay in contact with him. I’ve always supported civility in public life. This has been followed by the family’s obedient members,” he stated.

A social media post that has since been removed is at the heart of the controversy that resulted in Tej Pratap’s dismissal. On Saturday, a picture of Tej Pratap Yadav with a lady was posted from his Facebook page.

The lady was named as Anushka Yadav in the article, which also said that she and the RJD leader had been together for 12 years.

“The girl in this photo is Anushka Yadav, and my name is Tej Pratap Yadav. We have a great affection for one another and have known one other for the last twelve years. For all of these years, we have been together. For a long time, I wanted to tell you everything about this, but I was at a loss for words. I’m letting you inside my heart with this post today. I’m hoping everyone will understand.

Many people expressed disapproval of the post, questioning why the RJD politician, who was already in a relationship, married Aishwarya, the daughter of former Bihar minister Chandrika Rai, in 2018. Aishwarya and Tej Pratap had split up months after the wedding.

The Facebook post was removed shortly after it sparked a discussion because Tej Pratap claimed that his profile had been compromised. On X, he said, “My social media platform was hacked, and my photographs were edited wrongfully,” in reference to the widely shared photograph.

The face of RJD and the younger brother of Tej Pratap According to Tejashwi, such acts “cannot be tolerated” in his opinion. “We are addressing people’s concerns, carrying out our duties, and being committed to Bihar. My older brother believes that his personal and political lives are distinct. He is entitled to make his own choices. He can make his own choices since he is an adult. The leader of our party has spoken clearly.
