RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav expels son Tej Pratap from party for 6 years, cuts family ties

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party for six years for “irresponsible behaviour”, and has also disowned him from the family. Lalu Prasad made the announcement in a post on X on Sunday afternoon.

“The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions... I remove him from the party and the family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and the family. He is expelled from the party for six years,” Prasad said.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav posted on 'X': "Ignoring moral values ​​in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values ​​and traditions. Therefore, due to the above circumstances, I remove him from the party and family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and family. He is expelled from the party for 6 years. He is capable of seeing the good and bad and merits and demerits of his personal life. All those who will have relations with him should make their own decisions. I have always been an advocate of public shame in public life. The obedient members of the family have adopted and followed this idea in public life."

The move came a day after Tej Pratap Yadav said in a Facebook post that he was "in a relationship" with a young woman, but later claimed that his account on the social media platform had been "hacked".
