Tejashwi Yadav Slams Nitish Kumar Over Muzaffarpur Rape Case
Patna: Bihar Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his government on Monday over the Muzaffarpur rape case and medical negligence at PMCH that led to the death of a 10-year-old Dalit girl. Speaking to the media, Tejashwi Yadav said, "Whether it's law and order, healthcare, education, or employment, this double-engine government has failed completely. The Chief Minister has never expressed regret on any such issue. I doubt if he even knows about this brutal rape case." Tejashwi Yadav strongly criticised the Chief Minister and his two deputies for allegedly being preoccupied with political events and election preparations, saying they were ignoring public grievances and justice. "Criminals are dominant in Bihar. Bullets are being fired near the Secretariat and even outside the Chief Minister's residence. There is no law and order left in Bihar," Yadav added, pointing to recent violent crimes across the state. On the victim's death, Yadav claimed the child was left in an ambulance for over four hours without treatment at PMCH, which he described as an inexcusable administrative failure. "No one from the government met the victim's family. This shows the insensitivity of the ruling alliance," he said. When asked about his brother Tej Pratap Yadav's controversy and comments involving the term "Jaichand," Tejashwi said the matter has been handled by RJD national president Lalu Prasad Yadav, and he would not comment on personal issues. On Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement criticising the NDA's focus on optics over substance, Yadav said, "He has only spoken the truth. Airports are being inaugurated, PM Modi did the road show, but martyr families are being ignored. Crimes against children are happening, yet no one in the government speaks out about it."

"Who Doesn't Know Jaichand": BJP Uses Tej Pratap's Post To Slam Lalu Yadav
New Delhi: The BJP in Bihar has latched on to Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap's "Jaichand" posts to target the RJD patriarch as the tempo for the Bihar Assembly election rises. The BJP Bihar handle on X first posted a teaser that there is discussion about "Jaichand" these days and assured they would reply who "Jaichand" is. A 12th-century king of Gahadavala dynasty, Jaichand was portrayed in epic poem Prithviraj Raso as a traitor who allied with foreign powers against Prithivraj Chauhan. The term 'Jaichand' has now become synonymous with traitor. In a post addressed to father Lalu Prasad and mother Rabri Devi, Tej Pratap yesterday posted on X that he just wanted his parents' love and trust. He also said some "greedy people like Jaichand" were playing politics with him. Lalu Prasad has expelled Tej Pratap from the party for six years amid the chatter over a now-deleted Facebook post. In another post, Tej Pratap warned his younger brother, Tejashwi Yadav, of "Jaichands" everywhere and said they were trying to separate the brothers. He assured his brother that he was always with him. Latching on to the posts, Bihar BJP today accused the RJD founder of betraying Jayaprakash Narayan, who led the agitation against the Emergency and former Bihar Chief Minister and socialist ideologue Karpoori Thakur. "Who doesn't know Bihar's Jaichand who betrayed JP and Karpoori Thakur ji and held Congress's hand. Do we need to say, or do you get it?" "Who doesn't know Bihar's Jaichand who cheated leaders of the socialist revolution and pushed Bihar to ruin?" Bihar BJP added in another post. Tej Pratap was expelled over a now-deleted Facebook photograph in which he was seen with a woman. The post identified the woman as Anushka Yadav and said she and Tej Pratap were in a relationship for 12 years. "I am Tej Pratap Yadav and the girl seen with me in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known each other for the last 12 years and love each other deeply. We have been in a relationship throughout these years. I wanted to share this with all of you for a long time, but couldn't find the right words. Today, through this post, I am opening my heart to you. I hope you all will understand," it read. The post went viral and started a chatter, as people asked why Tej Pratap married in 2018 if he was in a relationship. The RJD leader married Aishwarya Rai, daughter of political heavyweight Chandrika Rai, in 2018. The couple separated months later and a divorce case is on. Amid this chatter, Tej Pratap claimed his profile had been hacked. "My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully," he wrote on X. The damage control did not work and the next day, Lalu Yadav announced the decision to expel Tej Pratap from the party. He said "ignoring moral values" in personal life weakens the community's struggle for social justice. "The elder son's activities, public behaviour and irresponsible conduct are not in line with our family's values. In the current circumstances, I remove him from the party and the family. From now on, he will have no role in the party and the family. He has been expelled from the party for six years," he said.

Tej vows to expose ‘conspiracy' after expulsion from RJD
Patna: A week after being expelled from the party over his revelation about an relationship with a woman through his social media post, RJD chief Lalu Prasad's elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav , on Sunday broke his silence, promising to "expose" those behind the "conspiracy" leading to his current crisis. T he former Bihar minister, who was expelled from the party for six years a week ago, expressed his sentiments in a couple of posts on his X handle, blaming the crisis on 'Jaichand', a metaphor for traitors. Using Mahabharata imagery, which he has been repeatedly employing to describe his relationship with his younger brother, he said those dreaming of creating a rift in the family would not succeed in their attempts. "Those who dream of separating me from my Arjun (Tejashwi) will never succeed in their conspiracies. You can take Krishna's army but not Krishna himself," Tej Pratap said, declaring to expose the conspiracy "very soon". Without naming Tejashwi in his post, he asked his younger brother to have faith in him, stating, "I am with you in every situation." "Right now, I am away, but my blessings were and will always be with you," he said, asking him to take care of his parents, Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, with the warning that "Jaichand" is everywhere, both inside the house and outside. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubra ofertas de voos imperdíveis Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo However, he didn't hint at who could be the possible traitors. In an earlier post, he described his parents as his "whole world." In an emotional post shared on a social media platform, Tej reaffirmed his loyalty and devotion to his parents. "My dear mummy and papa, my world revolves around both of you. Your commands are bigger than God to me," he said in his heartfelt message, adding that he needs only their "love and trust". Praying for their happy and healthy life, Tej also cautioned his parents against the "Jaichand" in politics. Coincidentally, on the day Tej came up with these posts, the RJD issued a formal expulsion letter for the leader. But, very strangely, the letter doesn't mention why Tej was expelled from the party. "In the light of instruction from the national president (Lalu Prasad), Tej Pratap Yadav is expelled from the primary membership of the party for six years," the letter signed by RJD's national principal general secretary Abdul Bari Siddiqui read. Although the expulsion letter was dated May 25, it was released on Sunday.

My whole world is just you two: Tej Pratap's message to Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi
New Delhi: Just days after RJD chief Lalu Yadav expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav from his party following a controversial Facebook post, Tej Pratap expressed his deep affection for his parents and accused certain "greedy" individuals of engaging in politics against him. In a heartfelt message on X early Sunday morning, Tej Pratap wrote in Hindi (loosely translated as), "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. 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. Mummy and Papa, may you both always be healthy and happy." He invoked the name 'Jaichand' to criticise those he believes are conspiring against him. Historically, Jaichand was a 12th-century king depicted as a traitor in the poem 'Prithviraj Raso' for forming alliances with enemies of Prithviraj Chauhan, and everf since the name has been associated with betrayal. Although Tej Pratap did not directly name any of his siblings, including Tejashwi Yadav, the party's prominent leader, his use of the 'Jaichand' reference could indicate resentment towards family members who supported Lalu Prasad Yadav's decision to expel him. Tej Pratap was removed from the party last Sunday due to a Facebook post featuring a woman identified as Anushka Yadav, claiming they had been in a relationship for 12 years. His post read, "I am Tej Pratap Yadav, and the girl in this photo is Anushka Yadav. We've known each other for 12 years and are deeply in love. I've wanted to share this for a long time, but couldn't find the words until now. I hope you all understand." After a huge controversy was generated, Tej Pratap claimed that his social media account had been hacked, stating, "My social media was hacked, and my photos were altered."

Tej Pratap Yadav's Message To Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi, And A "Jaichand" Jab
New Delhi: Days after he was expelled from the party after a Facebook post sparked a row, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) founder Lalu Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap today said his parents, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, were his world. He alleged that some "greedy" individuals had resorted to "politics" against him. "My dead Mummy Papa, you are my world. You and your instructions are bigger than God. I have everything if I have you. I just want your love and trust. Without Papa, this party wouldn't exist, nor would those greedy people playing politics against me. Mummy Papa, stay healthy and happy always," Tej Pratap said in a post on X. The 37-year-old used the 'Jaichand' reference to slam those allegedly working against him. A 12th-century king of Gahadavala dynasty, Jaichand was portrayed in epic poem Prithviraj Raso as a traitor who allied with foreign powers against Prithivraj Chauhan. The term 'Jaichand' has become synonymous with traitor. While Tej Pratap's post does not name any of his siblings, including the party's face Tejashwi Yadav, his 'Jaichand' jab could be aimed at the family members who endorsed Lalu Prasad Yadav's decision to expel him. Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled last Sunday over a Facebook post. The day before, a photograph shared on his Facebook account showed him with a woman. The post identified the woman as Anushka Yadav and said she and Tej Pratap were in a relationship for 12 years. "I am Tej Pratap Yadav and the girl seen with me in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known each other for the last 12 years and love each other deeply. We have been in a relationship throughout these years. I wanted to share this with all of you for a long time, but couldn't find the right words. Today, through this post, I am opening my heart to you. I hope you all will understand," it read. The post went viral and started a chatter, as people asked why Tej Pratap married in 2018 if he was in a relationship. The RJD leader married Aishwarya Rai, daughter of political heavyweight Chandrika Rai, in 2018. The couple separated months later and a divorce case is on. Amid this chatter, Tej Pratap claimed his profile had been hacked. "My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully," he wrote on X. The damage control did not work and the next day, Lalu Yadav announced the decision to expel Tej Pratap from the party. He said "ignoring moral values" in personal life weakens the community's struggle for social justice. "The elder son's activities, public behaviour and irresponsible conduct are not in line with our family's values. In the current circumstances, I remove him from the party and the family. From now on, he will have no role in the party and the family. He has been expelled from the party for six years," he said. Responding to his father's decision, Tejashwi said some things "cannot be tolerated". "He (Tej Pratap) has the right to make his personal decisions. He is an adult and free to make decisions. Our party's chief has made it clear." Lalu Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya said those who keep "family", "upbringing," and "decorum" in mind never face questions. Two days after his expulsion, Tej Pratap Yadav congratulated Tejashwi Yadav on his son's birth and extended love and blessings to the little one. "With the grace of Banke Bihari ji, I have been lucky to become an uncle. My heartfelt wishes to younger brother Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and (sister-in-law) Rajshree Yadav. Love and blessings to the nephew," Tej Pratap said in a post on X.
