From Family Feud To Facebook Fury: Tej Pratap's Tumultuous Turn In RJD Politics
Last Updated: Lalu Yadav has often praised Tej Pratap, likening him to Lord Krishna for his energy and charisma. Such contradictions suggest the expulsion may be symbolic, not punitive Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has once again stirred political chatter in Bihar with his recent remarks, including controversial references likening some to 'Jaichand" — a historical figure often associated with betrayal. Jaichand, a 12th-century ruler from the Gahadavala dynasty, is historically remembered for his rivalry with Prithviraj Chauhan. In the epic poem Prithviraj Raso, he is depicted as a betrayer who sided with invading forces against Prithviraj, earning a lasting reputation as a symbol of treachery. Despite being expelled by both his party and family following his controversial Facebook post which has now been deleted, Tej Pratap remains a subject of public and political attention. Tej Pratap 's deep emotional connection with his family, especially with his father Lalu Prasad Yadav and brother Tejashwi Yadav, continues to be evident in his social media posts. In an emotional message shared on X, Tej Pratap expressed that his parents, Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, are his 'whole world". He subtly criticised some party members, accusing them of betrayal and trying to disrupt the family's unity. 'My dear mom and dad. My whole world is just you two. You and any order given by you are greater than God. If you are there, then I have everything. I just need your trust and love and nothing else," Tej Pratap Yadav said in a post on X. मेरे प्यारे मम्मी पापा….मेरी सारी दुनिया बस आपदोनों में ही समाई है।भगवान से बढ़कर है आप और आपका दिया कोई भी आदेश।आप है तो सबकुछ है मेरे पास।मुझे सिर्फ आपका विश्वास और प्यार चाहिए ना कि कुछ और।पापा आप नही होते तो ना ये पार्टी होती और ना मेरे साथ राजनीति करने वाले कुछ जयचंद जैसे…— Tej Pratap Yadav (@TejYadav14) May 31, 2025 'Papa, if you were not there, then this party would not have been there and neither would greedy people like Jaichand who do politics with me. Just mummy papa, may you both always be healthy and happy," he added. Meanwhile, some observers view Lalu Prasad Yadav's actions with suspicion, suggesting they could be part of a larger electoral strategy. Political commentators believe Lalu's earlier public display of affection for Tej Pratap has cast doubt on the seriousness of the expulsion. Lalu Prasad Yadav has earlier frequently expressed admiration for Tej Pratap, likening him to Lord Krishna and praising his unique energy and natural political instinct. He once described Tej Pratap as having a distinct charisma and passion, often acknowledging his unconventional behaviour through mythological references. These contradictory statements and actions have led many to believe that the expulsion may be more symbolic than punitive. In another X post, Tej Pratap assured his brother Tejashwi of his unwavering support despite the physical distance between them, and vowed to expose any conspiracies targeting them. मेरे अर्जुन से मुझे अलग करने का सपना देखने वालों ,तुम कभी अपनी साजिशों में सफल नही हो सकोगे,कृष्ण की सेना तो तुम ले सकते हो लेकिन खुद कृष्ण को नही।हर साजिश को जल्द बेनकाब करूंगा।बस मेरे भाई भरोषा रखना मैं हर परिस्थिति में तुम्हारे साथ हूँ,फिलहाल दूर हूँ लेकिन मेरा आशीर्वाद हमेशा… — Tej Pratap Yadav (@TejYadav14) June 1, 2025 Tej Pratap also congratulated Tejashwi Yadav on the birth of his son last week. Tej Pratap's ex-wife, Aishwarya Rai, has also weighed in, dismissing the expulsion as a staged drama. She questioned the authenticity of the family's actions, alleging that they were always aware of Tej Pratap's long-standing relationship but chose to shield him while she was unfairly blamed. Tej Pratap, known for his dramatic flair and fondness for controversy, shared a photo with Anushka Yadav — a woman previously linked to him and referred to as a 'close friend' within family circles, though never publicly confirmed. Recently, Tej Pratap made a bold claim on Facebook that they had been in a 'relationship for 12 years", a period that also encompasses the time he was married. This revelation not only sparked a social media frenzy but also led to a significant family upheaval, resulting in Tej Pratap's six-year political exile. Meanwhile, Tej Pratap claimed that his social media accounts were hacked and his pictures were 'wrongly edited" to defame him and his family. First Published:

From Textbooks To Banknotes, How Mujibur Rahman's Legacy Has Been Targeted Under Yunus Admin
Last Updated: On Sunday, Bangladesh issued new banknotes that no longer feature the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Bangladesh has recently issued new banknotes that no longer feature the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the nation's founding president and father of the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had led Bangladesh to independence from Pakistan in 1971 and was assassinated along with most of his family in a 1975 coup. The new banknotes will now feature traditional landmarks of the country, marking a significant departure from the past designs. This move is seen as another attempt to diminish Mujib's legacy under the regime of Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a pivotal figure in Bangladesh's independence movement, has faced both symbolic and institutional challenges, especially during periods of intense political tension involving Muhammad Yunus, the country's chief adviser. Mujib's symbolic significance has faced several direct attacks. One of the most notable incidents occurred in December 2020 when a sculpture of Mujibur Rahman was vandalised in Kushtia. This act was widely condemned across the political spectrum and perceived as an insult to the nation's founding values. Joy Bangla The use of the 'Joy Bangla" slogan has also been a contentious issue. In March 2020, the High Court declared 'Joy Bangla" as the official national slogan, underscoring its deep connection to the Liberation War. However, some political and civil society figures, often linked to non-partisan or oppositional circles, have refrained from using it in official forums and public speeches. The government criticized this reluctance as an intentional effort to erase Mujib's legacy. Although Yunus did not speak against the slogan, his broader circle—often depicted as 'elitist" or 'detached from 1971 values"—was accused of enabling this cultural disengagement from the Liberation War's ideological core. Legacy Wiped Off From Textbooks Controversy has also surrounded textbook revisions, with critics alleging efforts to minimize or omit references to Mujib's role in Bangladesh's history. The interim government has revised textbooks on the 1971 Liberation War to state that Ziaur Rahman declared the country's independence, replacing the previous text that credited Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) of Bangladesh has made revisions to 441 textbooks used by primary, secondary, and higher secondary students. Over 40 crore textbooks are being produced for the 2025 academic year, as reported by The Daily Star. The new textbooks, with several changes, have been distributed among primary and secondary students since January 1. Mujibur's House Vandalised In early February 2025, Bangladesh witnessed a significant act of political unrest when protesters vandalized and set fire to the historic residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. This residence at 32 Dhanmondi in Dhaka is where Mujibur Rahman declared Bangladesh's independence in 1971 and where he was assassinated in The house had been converted into a museum by his daughter, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. On February 5, 2025, thousands of protesters gathered outside the Dhanmondi residence in response to a social media campaign called the 'Bulldozer Procession." The protest coincided with a virtual address by Sheikh Hasina, who is in exile in India following her ousting in August 2024. As Hasina began her speech, demonstrators stormed the property, dismantled parts of the building, and set it ablaze. Heavy machinery, including cranes and excavators, was brought in to aid in the demolition. Currency Revamped On Sunday, Bangladesh issued new banknotes that no longer feature the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Instead, the new notes will showcase natural landscapes and traditional landmarks of the country. 'Under the new series and design, the notes will not feature any human portraits but will instead showcase natural landscapes and traditional landmarks," said Arif Hossain Khan, a spokesman for Bangladesh Bank, to AFP. The notes for three of the nine different denominations were released on Sunday. 'The new notes will be issued from the central bank's headquarters and later from its other offices across the country," Khan stated. Among the designs set to feature in Bangladesh's new banknotes are images of Hindu and Buddhist temples and historical palaces. They will also include artwork by the late painter Zainul Abedin, depicting the Bengal famine during British colonial rule. Another note will show the national martyrs' memorial to honor those who died in the independence war against Pakistan. The other denominations of the notes will be released in phases. What Next The conflict is likely to intensify as multiple legal cases against Yunus progress through the courts. Allegations include violations of labor laws, improper handling of employee benefits at Grameen Telecom, and ongoing investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) into alleged financial misconduct. In 2023, a group of employees filed formal complaints against Yunus and his associates, accusing them of withholding mandatory worker benefits. The Labor Court took cognizance of the charges, and the case is moving forward. Separately, the ACC has launched inquiries into potential misuse of donor funds, increasing legal pressure on the Nobel Laureate. If the courts rule against Yunus, it may not only affect his personal reputation but also reinforce the government's narrative about protecting national ideology. Meanwhile, with elections overdue, Bangladesh is facing political uncertainty. Sources have told CNN-News18 that Bangladesh Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman is determined to explore all options to remove Yunus from power. Sources say Zaman is considering various avenues, including exploiting constitutional ambiguities, to challenge Yunus's interim government. Intelligence sources highlight that the interim government's legal basis is fragile, as Bangladesh's constitution mandates elections within 90 days of a government's dissolution. Zaman plans to unite the parties of Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia to contest elections for the country, according to sources. Watch India Pakistan Breaking News on CNN-News18.
