But these five families have made every effort to destroy my political and family life completely,” wrote Tej Pratap on X on Thursday.

Tej Pratap was expelled from the RJD and his family for six years after a social media post went viral, featuring a photograph with a woman named Anushka Yadav, claiming they had been in a relationship for 12 years.

Tej Pratap initially denied making the post, claiming his Facebook account had been hacked, and accused his detractors of uploading the content as part of a larger conspiracy.

After his expulsion, Tej Pratap launched a new political platform under the banner of ‘Team Tej Pratap Yadav’ and formed a coalition of five minor parties to contest the upcoming assembly elections.

In the upcoming 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections, Tej Pratap has intensified his campaigning across the state, targeting his opponents with the phrase ‘Jaychand’ (traitor).

The former RJD leader has also warned his younger brother and Leader of Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, to keep a distance from such traitors. His X post has triggered curiosity across the state. (ANI)
