Tej Pratap Yadav: With Bihar Assembly elections due this year, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has taken strong action against his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav. On Sunday, Yadav announced on the social media platform X that Tej Pratap Yadav has been expelled from the party for six years. He wrote on X: “Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. My elder son’s activities, public conduct, and irresponsible behaviour are not in line with our family values and traditions.”

Lalu Prasad Yadav further wrote: Due to the above circumstances, I am distancing him from the party and the family. From now on, he will not have any role whatsoever in the party or the family. He is expelled from the party for six years.

Lalu Prasad Yadav wrote on X: “He is capable of judging the good and bad, merits and demerits of his personal life himself. Those who will have any connection with him should decide with their own discretion. I have always been an advocate of public decorum in public life. The obedient members of the family have accepted and followed this principle in public life.”
