Bihar politics heats up as Anushka Yadav, once linked romantically to Lalu Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap, becomes a mother to a daughter. The joyous occasion turned contentious with Tej Pratap’s outright rejection: ‘No ties to her or the child.’
Speaking out post the February 8 delivery, the Janashakti Janata Dal leader accused political rivals of defamation. He specifically blamed former MLA Mukesh Raushan for heading a conspiracy that forced him out of his home and plunged him into depression severe enough to contemplate ending his life.
Tej Pratap listed his tormentors: 1. Mukesh Raushan, 2. Sanjay Yadav, 3. Ramiz, 4. Shakti Singh, 5. Sunil Singh. ‘These Jaichands are out to destroy me at the behest of enemies,’ he fumed, tying it to his father’s recent blessings that didn’t sit well with them.
On the viral photo scandal, he insisted his account was compromised. Further bombshell: Anushka’s alleged affair with Alok Gurjar. ‘Let her explain that relationship,’ he challenged, promising court battles and a meeting with PM Modi.
Flashback to the root: Last year, a fleeting social media post of the duo led to RJD expulsion and family fallout. Tej Pratap had confessed love but retracted amid backlash. Tejashwi called it intolerable. Now, with a baby in the mix, Tej Pratap urges Bihar’s home minister for justice. This melodrama underscores deep divisions in one of India’s most watched political dynasties.
