When asked about reportedly unfollowing his brother on social media, he said, \u201cDon\u2019t ask me such questions, which have no meaning.”<\/p>\n
The RJD patriarch had expelled his eldest son from the party and the Yadav family for six years after a social media post went viral.<\/p>\n
The post, containing a photograph of a woman named Anushka Yadav, claimed that Tej Pratap had been in a relationship with her for the past 12 years.<\/p>\n
The post created uproar in Bihar\u2019s political circles, giving ammunition to rivals and deepening divisions within the RJD.<\/p>\n
Tej Pratap later denied making the post, claiming that his Facebook account had been hacked and accusing his detractors of uploading the controversial content as part of a larger conspiracy. Yadav had tied the knot with Aishwarya, granddaughter of former Bihar Chief Minister Daroga Rai. However, within a few months, Aishwarya left his house alleging that she was driven out by her husband and in-laws, and the couple\u2019s divorce petition is pending before the family court.<\/p>\n
After his expulsion from the RJD and distancing from Lalu Prasad Yadav\u2019s family, former minister Tej Pratap Yadav has launched a new political platform under the banner of \u2018Team Tej Pratap Yadav\u2019.<\/p>\n
The first phase of the Bihar Assembly polls will take place on November 6, and the second phase will happen on November 11. The counting of votes will take place on November 14.<\/p>\n
