National News: A new video featuring Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, surfaced on social media, igniting widespread outrage. Posted by @Live_Dainik
on X, the video shows Tej Pratap in a dramatic display, driving a luxury car and speaking cryptically about fulfilling dreams, amid his recent expulsion from the RJD and family for “irresponsible behaviour.” This follows a controversial May 2025 Facebook post where he claimed a 12-year relationship with Anushka Yadav, later alleging his account was hacked.
A Pattern of Controversy
Tej Pratap’s latest video, shared across platforms like X and Instagram, portrays him in a flamboyant style, driving a high-end car and making vague references to overcoming challenges. His earlier controversies, including a March 2025 incident where he ordered a police constable to dance during Holi celebrations, have cemented his image as a polarizing figure. Critics argue the video is a calculated move to project resilience, while supporters see it as an expression of his unapologetic persona. The timing, close to Bihar’s elections, suggests an effort to remain politically relevant despite his ouster from the RJD.

Political and Family Fallout
The video has intensified tensions within the Yadav family and the RJD, with Tej Pratap’s cryptic remarks interpreted as a jab at party leaders he called “Jaichands” (traitors) in a June 1 post. His expulsion, announced by Lalu Prasad on X, followed a public backlash over his relationship claims, which he later attributed to a hacked account. The ongoing divorce case with Aishwarya Rai, who accused him of mistreatment, adds to his personal controversies. As Tej Pratap plans to contest the Mahua seat independently, the video has sparked debates about his political future and its impact on the RJD’s unity, with the BJP leveraging the rift to weaken the opposition.
