Tej Pratap Yadav expelled: In a shocking turn of events, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party and family. The decision came just a day after Tej Pratap’s personal post with a woman named Anushka Yadav triggered massive political and social media buzz.
Was this about morality, discipline, or simply damage control before the elections? Let’s break it down.
What Led to the Expulsion?
On Saturday, Tej Pratap Yadav’s verified Facebook account posted a photo with a woman named Anushka Yadav. The caption claimed they had been in a relationship for 12 years. This surprising revelation, considering that Tej Pratap is still legally married, set the internet abuzz.
Key details from the post:
- “We have known and loved each other for 12 years.”
- “We are in a relationship.”
Within hours, screenshots spread like wildfire across social media platforms. Hashtags like #TejPratap and #AnushkaYadav began trending.
However, by the same night, Tej Pratap posted on X (formerly Twitter), claiming:
“My Facebook account has been hacked. Fake posts and pictures are being used to defame me and my family.”
Lalu Yadav’s Strong Reaction
On Sunday, Lalu Yadav took to social media to make his stance public. In a stern post on X, he said:
“Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice… His behavior is not in line with our family values.”
Lalu further announced:
- Tej Pratap is expelled from the RJD for 6 years.
- He is removed from the family and will have no role in public or private affairs.
- “Anyone maintaining relations with him should use their own discretion.”
This is perhaps the first time in Indian political history a father has expelled his own son from both party and family through social media.
Tejashwi Yadav Responds: “Personal Life Is Separate”
Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap’s younger brother and prominent RJD leader, tried to strike a balancing tone. Speaking to the media, he said:
“Everyone has the right to live their personal life. Political and personal matters should not be mixed.”
While he avoided criticizing Tej Pratap, Tejashwi made it clear that the party stands with its president’s decision.
Who Is Anushka Yadav?
After the post went viral, several photos of Anushka Yadav with Tej Pratap surfaced, including one showing her celebrating Karva Chauth with him.
This only fueled more speculation:
- Is the relationship real or fabricated?
- If real, what does it mean for Tej Pratap’s ongoing divorce case?
For the record, Tej Pratap married Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former CM Daroga Prasad Rai, in May 2018. Their marriage has been rocky, and a divorce case is pending in court.
What’s Next for Tej Pratap?
Being expelled from RJD means Tej Pratap will:
- Lose all political influence under the RJD umbrella.
- Be distanced from any future succession narrative within the Yadav political dynasty.
- Face public scrutiny, both personal and political.
Whether he chooses to form a separate political front, lie low for a while, or focus on personal matters is yet to be seen.
A Family Torn, A Party Shaken
This episode reflects the deep divide between private life and public expectations in Indian politics. While some see Lalu’s decision as a bold act of discipline, others view it as overreach into personal matters.
What remains clear is this: The expulsion of Tej Pratap Yadav is a watershed moment in the history of the RJD and the Yadav family.
