Patna, May 26 (NationPress) After the expulsion of his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from both the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the family, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, accompanied by his wife Rabri Devi and daughter Misa Bharti, took off from Patna airport to Kolkata on Monday evening.
The family is reportedly en route to visit Tejashwi Yadav, his wife Rajshree Yadav, and their newborn daughter Katyayani.
When approached regarding the allegations made by Aishwarya Rai at the Patna airport, RJD MP and Lalu’s eldest daughter Misa Bharti refrained from providing in-depth comments, referencing the ongoing court case.
"This matter is sub judice, so it would not be appropriate to speak on it," Misa commented.
However, when interrogated about the family’s perspective on Tej Pratap’s expulsion, Misa assured that Lalu Prasad Yadav’s authority as both family and party leader is final.
"Our father and party national president has made his stand clear. Beyond that, we have nothing more to add," she stated.
The political and personal upheaval arose after Tej Pratap Yadav reportedly acknowledged on social media a 12-year relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav, leading Lalu Yadav to enforce strict disciplinary measures.
This revelation not only embarrassed the RJD leadership but also rekindled long-standing allegations from Aishwarya Rai, Tej Pratap's spouse since 2018.
However, their marriage quickly soured, and Aishwarya has since accused the Yadav family of domestic abuse, deception, and betrayal.
She confirmed that the divorce case remains pending in court and that she will seek justice through legal avenues.
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Tej Pratap Yadav’s ousting intensified after Aishwarya Rai communicated with the media on Monday, making serious allegations against the entire Yadav family.
"They knew about Tej Pratap's long-term relationship, so why did they marry me to him? Why did they ruin my life?" Aishwarya questioned while addressing reporters.
She further asserted that Rabri Devi physically assaulted her and that the entire Yadav family—including Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav—was complicit in her suffering.
Describing the recent expulsion of Tej Pratap as mere political theatrics ahead of elections, Aishwarya remarked: "This is all a drama. Rabri Devi must have already met her son in private and consoled him. They are pretending to have expelled him for public sympathy. Where was their so-called social justice when I was thrown out and beaten?"
"Let Lalu and Tejashwi discuss expelling Tej Pratap. I want to know what happened to me. Where is justice for me?" she asked.
