Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for six years following a controversial social media post related to his personal life. After the announcement, Tej Pratap’s younger brother and senior party leader Tejashwi Yadav reacted strongly. Speaking to the media, Tejashwi said he neither likes such behaviour nor can tolerate it.
"I do not like all this and cannot tolerate it. I am doing my work. As for my elder brother, he is an adult and has the right to make personal decisions. Whatever he is doing in his personal life, he does not consult anyone. We also came to know about this through the media," said Tejashwi.
Tejashwi refused to comment on the public statement made by Lalu Prasad regarding Tej Pratap’s expulsion. He said the party president has expressed his views and he will not speak further on the matter.
Tejashwi described the issue as a personal matter and added that while every family and party has its own discipline, each person has the right to make decisions in their personal life.
Tej Pratap Yadav often finds himself at the center of controversy due to his actions. On Saturday, he shared photos with a young woman on social media and hinted at a relationship. He later deleted the post and claimed that his account was hacked.
The post led to widespread criticism from political opponents. In response to the growing controversy, Lalu Prasad Yadav took disciplinary action on Sunday.
