Tej Pratap Yadav

Comedian Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court denied extensions to repay nearly Rs 9 crore in cheque‑bounce cases. In his emotional surrender, he shared he had no money or support.

Tej Pratap, a former minister who has floated his own outfit, first sought the blessings of his parents by touching their feet. He then handed over the invitation letter to his younger brother.

Tej Pratap Yadav, a former minister who has floated his own outfit – Janshakti Janata Dal – following expulsion from the RJD, received a warm welcome by Vijay Sinha.

Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, alleged in his complaint that Renu was appointed the JJD national spokesperson, but later, he started working against the party's ideology.

Tej Pratap Yadav, who is now trying to wrest back Mahua, the seat from which he made his debut a decade ago, stuck to the stand that after elections, he would not return to his father's party nor would he be a part of any other political formation.

The constituency is a general seat not reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs). It is a part of the Vaishali district of Bihar, and it comes under the Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Janata Dal United (JDU), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress are the main parties in the state.

Tej Pratap, who was expelled from the RJD by his father Lalu Prasad Yadav in May and floated his own party, the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), asserted that he faced no competition in Mahua, where he made his electoral debut from Mahua on an RJD ticket in 2015.

Tej Pratap made it clear that he will contest the upcoming assembly polls from Mahua, a constituency that is adjacent to Tejashwi's Raghopur seat and from where he had made his debut in the 2015 assembly polls.

Calling it an example of “childhood innocence,” Tej Pratap Yadav said such playful experiences were a regular part of his early years.

After his expulsion from the RJD and distancing from Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family, former minister Tej Pratap Yadav has launched a new political platform under the banner of ‘Team Tej Pratap Yadav’.

I want to tell Tejashwi that there is still time. Be cautious of ‘Jaichands’ (a metaphor for traitors) around you, otherwise, you will see very bad results in the elections, says former Bihar CM.

Tej Pratap Yadav attacked the Maner MLA against whom an FIR has been lodged by a Panchayat sachiv (secretary), whom the legislator had threatened to "beat with shoes" during a telephone call.

Speaking to the reporters, Tejashwi Yadav said, “many parties keep on coming”, when asked about his brother Tej Pratap Yadav's statement "I will contest the assembly election from Mahua seat".

Tej Pratap Yadav on Wednesday shared glimpses from a video call he had with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav triggering speculations over his next potential move.

The disciplinary action followed a controversial post from his Facebook account, in which he allegedly revealed a 12-year romantic relationship with Anushka Yadav.

RJD chief Lalu Yadav on Sunday expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for six years and also decided to break his ties with him, citing his "irresponsible conduct" and deviation from the family's values and public decorum.

Over the years, Tej Pratap sought to position himself as a separate power centre within the RJD - often at the cost of challenging his own family and those close to them. The power trip, however, came with an expiry date.

Sharing a post on X, Tej Pratap Yadav said he was ready to give his life while serving the nation.

The video, now viral on social media, triggered a sharp reaction from the Opposition, with BJP and JD(U) leaders strongly criticising Yadav's actions.
