Who Was With Tej Pratap In Maldives? BJP's Nikhil Anand Shares Alleged Chats
Last Updated: BJP leader Nikhil Anand accused Tej Pratap of deceiving both Aishwarya Rai and Anushka Yadav, questioning if he was misleading the women or the entire Yadav community Former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav, whose recent Facebook post about a long-standing relationship with Anushka Yadav sparked a political storm in Bihar and led to his expulsion from the party just ahead of the state elections, has now found himself embroiled in fresh controversy. Many have questioned whether Tej Pratap was actually in the Maldives with Anushka Yadav, as claimed. Alleged chats circulating online suggest he may have been accompanied by another woman instead. Some users on X alleged that it was another woman named Nishu Sinha, and not Anushka, who had accompanied Tej Pratap to the Maldives. They claimed the scandal broke after chats between the two were leaked. News18 has not independently verified the authenticity of these chats. Tej Pratap has dismissed the entire episode as a political conspiracy. Adding fuel to the fire, BJP OBC Morcha National General Secretary Nikhil Anand shared screenshots of purported Facebook Messenger conversations on X. He alleged that the leak hints at something more serious and claimed that Tejashwi Yadav may have orchestrated and funded the Maldives trip. Anand further alleged that the entire Yadav family was aware of the situation and that Tej Pratap's expulsion was part of a pre-planned political strategy by Lalu Prasad Yadav. He also raised questions about the safety of Anushka Yadav, claiming that had the matter not become public, her life might have been in danger. He called for a probe into the origin of the leaked chats. Anand accused Tej Pratap of deceiving both his former wife Aishwarya Rai and Anushka Yadav, and questioned whether he was misleading the women involved or the Yadav community itself. Media reports suggest that Anushka Yadav hails from Langartoli in Patna, and her brother, Akash Yadav, previously led the RJD's student wing. Tensions reportedly arose between Tej Pratap and the party leadership after Akash was replaced by Gagan Yadav, a close aide of Tejashwi Yadav. First Published:

Who is Anushka Yadav? The mystery girl seen in 'expelled' RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav's Facebook post
NEW DELHI: A social media post featuring former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav alongside a young woman named Anushka Yadav has triggered a wave of curiosity and controversy. The now-deleted viral Facebook post claimed the two had been in a relationship for the past 12 years. While Tej Pratap later alleged that his account had been hacked and that the post was part of an attempt to defame him and his family, the name Anushka Yadav has since become the centre of widespread public speculation. Who is Anushka Yadav? Very little is known about Anushka Yadav in the public domain. She appears to maintain a low profile, with no confirmed links to any political family or public profession. Sources suggest that Anushka is not from a political background, which makes her alleged connection to the RJD leader all the more intriguing. Speculation about her identity intensified after the viral post described her as someone Tej Pratap had "been in love with for the past 12 years". The post further stated: "The one seen in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known each other for the last 12 years. We are in love and have been in a relationship for 12 years." This revelation — if genuine — would imply that their alleged relationship predates Tej Pratap's high-profile marriage to Aishwarya Rai , the granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Rai in 2018. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to deny the authenticity of the post. "My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully. This is an attempt to defame and harass me and my family," he said. Despite the denial, the post had already garnered wide attention. 'I urge all my supporters to stay alert and not believe in any baseless rumours being spread on social media,' Yadav said. Following the controversy, RJD president Lalu Prasad expelled Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party and severed all family ties with him, citing 'irresponsible' conduct and a disregard for moral values. While Lalu Prasad did not directly refer to the controversial post in his own statement, he strongly criticised Tej Pratap's behaviour, saying: 'Disregard for moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle to achieve social justice. His actions are not in consonance with the values of my family.' 'He shall have no role, henceforth, in the party and the family. He is expelled from the party for six years, Lalu Prasad added' While the authenticity of the post remains in question, and with Tej Pratap calling it a hoax, Anushka Yadav remains a mystery figure. Whether the post was a result of hacking, mischief, or something more personal, the incident has once again brought Tej Pratap's personal life under the spotlight. A few months ago, he made headlines for threatening a policeman in his security detail with suspension upon refusal to dance as per his command and speeding on a two-wheeler without wearing a helmet. Earlier, he had been in the news for an ugly marital dispute, besides antics like supporting rebels in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, floating a parallel outfit "Lalu Rabri Morcha" and occupying the chair reserved for the national president while at the RJD office.

What we know about Anushka Yadav – Tej Pratap Yadav's mystery ‘girlfriend' from his Facebook post
Anushka Yadav recently became the centre of a political and social media storm after former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav publicly claimed to be in a long-term relationship with her. The controversy erupted when a post appeared on Tej Pratap's verified Facebook account stating that he and Anushka had been 'in love and in a relationship for 12 years.' The post featured a photograph of the two together, sparking widespread attention and debate across social media platforms. However, shortly after the post went viral, Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that his Facebook account had been hacked. Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap latrer denied the authenticity of the Facebook post, stating on X (formerly Twitter), 'My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully.' He further accused those behind the hack of attempting to 'defame and harass' him and his family. Despite his claims, the post had already triggered significant public scrutiny and political repercussions. Anushka Yadav remains a largely private individual, with very limited information available publicly. Until Tej Pratap's recent revelation, her name rarely featured in media reports or political discussions. Anushka Yadav is believed to originate from Bihar, and the two reportedly crossed paths over ten years ago. Little is known about Anushka Yadav educational background or professional pursuits. Tej Pratap has acknowledged her as a key presence in his life in his now deleted Facebook post. An ABP report also claims that Anushka Yadav is the sister of Tej Pratap's close friend. The report adds that this friend quit Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and has joined some othher political party. Mint could not verify these claims. Tej Pratap Yadav is married to Aishwarya Rai, the granddaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Rai. The couple's marriage in 2018 was a high-profile affair. However, their relationship soon became troubled, with Aishwarya leaving the marital home within months, alleging mistreatment by Tej Pratap and his family. The ensuing legal battles have been highly publicised, with accusations and counter-accusations between the two. Their divorce case is still pending in the Patna family court, adding to the ongoing drama surrounding Tej Pratap's personal life. The controversial Facebook post, which has since been deleted, claimed that Tej Pratap Yadav and Anushka Yadav had been in a relationship for 12 years. The caption read: 'I am Tej Pratap Yadav, and the person with me in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known and loved each other for the past 12 years. We've been in a relationship for all these years. I've wanted to share this with all of you for a long time but didn't know how to express it. Today, through this post, I am opening my heart to you all. I hope you understand me.' This public revelation shocked many, especially given Tej Pratap's existing marriage and the ongoing legal disputes with Aishwarya Rai. Following the uproar, Tej Pratap's assertion that his account was hacked did little to quell the controversy, leading to his expulsion from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party by his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, citing 'irresponsible conduct' and 'ignoring moral values.'
