Like his favourite deity, Krishna, Tej Pratap is often photographed playing the flute.
He has reinvented himself over the years, posing with horses, showing off luxury cars, and flashing his state-sanctioned security, all the while chasing clout on every social media platform possible.Former minister and full-time vloggerOnce a cabinet minister in Nitish Kumar's government, Tej Pratap quickly shifted gears, from politics to GoPro. He launched a YouTube channel called 'LR Vlog' in November 2021, where he documented his life on camera, from showcasing his plush bungalow to parading government escorts and convoy cars. The channel has nearly two lakh subscribers, although he hasn't been very active over the past year.

He claimed he was training to become a pilot and even offered to fight for the country.TikTok legacy and 'Pukar' anthemTej Pratap's thirst for validation didn't begin on YouTube. It can be traced back to TikTok, where his old profile had 1.76 lakh followers and was filled with Bollywood-style stunts, luxury rides in a BMW, and superbike antics. In 2018, he even dropped a theme song titled 'Tej Pratap Pukaar Raha Hai' — all in the name of image-building.But the PR machine didn't stop there. A separate YouTube channel named 'LR Bharat' runs in parallel, often covering and promoting Tej Pratap Yadav and RJD content.Dharma meets dramaInstagram is where Tej Pratap truly shines — or rather, reels in attention — with over six lakh followers. From meditating in a forest surrounded by police personnel to donning Krishna's attire, playing the flute, and performing a self-Rudrabhishek, his posts are nothing short of theatrical.Tej Pratap Yadav seems more at home in a reel than in a constituency. Politics might run in his blood, but it's the likes and views that seem to pump his heart. Must Watch
