‘Paltu chacha kahan?’ Tej Pratap Yadav’s post-Holi ride outside Nitish Kumar’s residence

RJD leader and former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav’s post-Holi bike ride led him directly to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s residence. Upon his arrival outside the house, Yadav loudly called out, "Where is Paltu Chacha?" reported India Today.

The term ‘Paltu,’ a colloquial Hindi expression for someone who frequently changes sides, has been used by the opposition to mock Nitish Kumar since he severed ties with the RJD and Congress to rejoin the BJP and form a government.

A video shows Tej Pratap, accompanied by another man soaked in colors, riding a scooter toward the Chief Minister’s residence. As they reach the gate, Yadav can be heard repeatedly asking, "Paltu chacha kahan? Paltu chacha... (Where is flip-flop uncle?)" The video also shows supporters following him on other two-wheelers and raising slogans as the ride continues.

Another video has surfaced, showing Tej Pratap, the elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, instructing a police officer to dance to his song or face suspension. This clip, which has sparked controversy, shows the officer complying with the RJD leader’s request amid a crowd of party workers.
