Patna, May 26 (NationPress) The political landscape in Bihar has intensified following the decision by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to expel his eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav from both the family and the party for a duration of six years.
This action has caused a wave of political commentary across various parties.
In a thoughtful and compassionate reaction, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha expressed his support for Lalu Yadav’s choice, recognizing the emotional burden such a decision would impose on a father.
After his return from a meeting of NDA-ruled Chief Ministers in Delhi, Sinha remarked, “This is a family issue, and it must have been profoundly difficult for Lalu Yadav. Every father aspires to guide his children correctly. Political matters should not intrude upon family affairs.”
Sinha further emphasized that Lalu Yadav’s decision should be interpreted through a personal lens rather than a political one, particularly in light of Lalu’s own delicate health circumstances.
The controversy ignited when a post from Tej Pratap Yadav’s official social media account suggested he was in a 12-year relationship with Anushka Yadav. The post was repeatedly deleted and reposted, leading to widespread confusion and media excitement.
Tej Pratap later asserted that his account had been compromised, yet by that time, the story had already spiraled out of control and the repercussions were severe.
This incident prompted a backlash from both the party and the public, ultimately leading Lalu Prasad Yadav to take the drastic action of expelling his own son to safeguard the party’s reputation and the family's honor.
This isn’t the first instance of the Yadav family's private issues becoming public knowledge.
Tej Pratap’s tumultuous marriage with Aishwarya Rai, the granddaughter of former CM Daroga Prasad Rai, has been under scrutiny for years, with the latest scandal only exacerbating the family's difficulties.
Tej Pratap’s younger brother and a notable face of RJD, Tejashwi Yadav, has taken a neutral stance, labeling it a personal matter while still supporting the party president's decision.
Rohini Acharya, Lalu’s daughter, vocally defended her father on social media, standing by the family's dignity.
