'No one can stop me': Tej Pratap meets 'partner' Anushka Yadav; defends visit post-RJD expulsion
RJD
leader Tej Pratap on Monday visited his alleged partner Anushka Yadav in Patna.
After coming out of Anushka's residence, Tej Pratap claimed that he shares a "parivaarik" relation with her, and no one can stop him from meeting his own family.
'We share a family relation, which is why I am here to meet her (Anushka Yadav). Of course, no one can stop me from meeting my own family,' Lalu Prasad's eldest son said.
Earlier in May, Tej Pratap had revealed via a social media post that he had been in a relationship for the past 12 years with Anushka Yadav. The confession raised eyebrows, as he married the granddaughter of a prominent Bihar politician in 2018 and is currently involved in a legal battle over divorce.
Later, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad expelled Tej Pratap, citing ignorance of moral values and irresponsible behavior.
'Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. The actions, public conduct, and irresponsible behavior of my eldest son are not in accordance with our family's principles. Therefore, under these circumstances, I am removing him from the party and the family.

Effective immediately, he will have no role of any kind in either. He is expelled from the party for six years,' Lalu Yadav wrote on X.
'He is capable of judging what is right or wrong in his personal life. Those who choose to associate with him should make their own decisions. I have always supported accountability in public life, and obedient members of our family have upheld this principle,' he further added.
However, Tej Pratap removed the post and claimed that his Facebook account was "hacked". He claimed the post was part of an attempt to "defame and harass" him and his family. 'My social media account was hacked, and my photographs were wrongfully edited,' Yadav said, referring to the viral post that drew media attention.
However, last week, Tej Pratap reportedly hinted in an interview that the social media post was indeed posted by him.

Op Sindoor made it clear who stands with India: Ex-principal adviser to MoD
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Operation Sindoor made it clear who stands with India diplomatically, former principal adviser to the Ministry of Defence, Lieutenant General Vinod Khandare (retired) has said. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency War is a costly affair and leads to pressure on a country's economy, he further said, stressing that a lot of work needs to be done on civil defence as it will continue to remain a "vulnerability". The Army veteran was in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city on Sunday for an interaction with public on Operation Sindoor, during an event organised by a local NGO. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo India destroyed nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir with precision strikes in May as part of the Operation Sindoor in response to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre in which 26 persons were killed by terrorists. Asked about takeaways from the Operation Sindoor, Lt Gen Khandare told PTI, "It is clear that diplomatically who is there with you (India) and who is not. Internally it is clear where the problems or faultlines are. If you think comprehensively, the identification of faultlines has come out very clearly." Live Events The "selfish interests" have also become clear, he said. Besides, we have to work a lot on civil defence because it will continue to remain a vulnerability, he added. "Today, with the kind of missiles and the reach that you have, everything is approachable. We are ahead in critical technologies and research," he pointed out. He further said a major part of transformation is that the one who is going to use that technology should be proficient. From the lab to the battlefield, it is a complete chain. "I think we have understood where we have to stand," Lt Gen Khadare said. He also said there is a major issue in border areas that has to be addressed by state governments. " Drone attacks impact the civilians. What about their shelters? Border states should be the first to have some regulation that every home has a shelter beneath, like in Israel and Ukraine. I think we have to learn from others also so that we don't repeat mistakes which they ignored," he said. Asked during the public interaction why Operation Sindoor took a sudden pause when there was a "win-win" situation, Lt Gen Khandare said, "I was with the defence minister then and discussions take place on such things at different levels. War is a costly affair and pressure comes on the economy of a country." It is clear that we have to be a developed country by 2047, he noted. "We have hard choices at times, to indulge in war with a nonsensical country like Pakistan or teach them a lesson and get back to our work. We have to avoid the mistake that took place in Russia-Ukraine war," he said. Punishment can be given again if they (Pakistan) commit the mistake again, he added. People think in that manner (to continue Op Sindoor) from a patriotic point of view. But pragmatism says it has be thought about how much punishment is to be given and why, Lt Gen Khandare said. "The aim of our government was to damage or destroy had to teach a lesson to the terrorist organisations," he said. "We succeeded in that but they (Pakistan) targeted civilian areas which was unacceptable, so we targeted their military establishments. Some people think we would have gone for PoK. But it is a costly, deliberate operation and needs preparations," he added.

SIR is 'new weapon' of 'vote chori', will protect 'one person, one vote': Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is a "new weapon" of " vote chori " and vowed to protect the 'one person, one vote' principle. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency He made the remarks in a post on his WhatsApp channel while talking about his meeting with a group of people who had cast their vote in the previous Lok Sabha election but their name had been deleted in the SIR exercise in Bihar. Gandhi met the group at the launch of his Vote Adhikar Yatra in Sasaram on Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More In his post in Hindi along with a picture of the meeting, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, "SIR is a new weapon of vote theft. Coincidentally, these people standing with me in this picture are 'living' proof of this theft." "All of them had cast their vote in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections - but by the time Bihar assembly elections came, their identity, their existence was erased from the democracy of India," he said. Live Events "Do you know who they are? Raj Mohan Singh (70): Farmer and retired soldier; Umravati Devi (35): Dalit and labourer; Dhanjay Kumar Bind (30): Backward class and labourer; Sita Devi (45): Woman and former MNREGA labourer; Raju Devi (55): Backward class and labourer; Mohmuddin Ansari (52): Minority and labourer," he said. The "collusion" of BJP and Election Commission is punishing them for being 'Bahujan' and poor - even our soldiers were not spared, Gandhi said. Neither will they have a vote, nor identity or rights, he added. "Due to social discrimination and economic conditions, they are unable to fight against the conspiracy of the stand here with them to protect the most basic right of 'one person, one vote'," he said. This is a question of rights and of everyone's participation in a democracy, he said, adding that "we will not let it end under any circumstances". Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi, RJD's Tejashwi Yadav along with Vikassheel Insan Party's Mukesh Sahani prayed at the Devkund Surya Mandir here as their Voter Adhikar Yatra entered its second day. Travelling from Kutumba, the Yatra is expected to reach Gaya this evening. Embarking on a 1,300 km 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' from Sasaram, Gandhi on Sunday had accused the Election Commission of "stealing" elections in collusion with the BJP and asserted that the INDIA bloc will not let their "latest conspiracy" to steal Bihar polls through SIR of electoral rolls succeed. After 16 days, the yatra will conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1. The yatra is being undertaken in a hybrid mode, on foot and by vehicle, as was Gandhi's Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
