1 2 Patna: Leader of opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, and his wife Rajshree Yadav have welcomed their second child, a baby boy, at a Kolkata hospital, bringing a moment of joy to the Yadav household amid ongoing political tensions.

Still, Tej Pratap was among the first to publicly extend his congratulations. "Shri Banke Bihari ji ki asim kripa... chote bhai Tejashwi aur Rajshree Yadav ko Hardik badhai evam shubhkamnayein," he posted, also offering blessings to his newborn nephew.
