Tej Pratap Yadav: Once a promising dynast now finds himself politically adrift; what went wrong?
Once introduced as the heir to RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav 's political legacy, Tej Pratap Yadav has now been expelled from the party and disowned by his family after a string of personal and public controversies that have routinely overshadowed the RJD's political agenda. The tipping point came on Saturday, when Tej Pratap posted a dramatic and ambiguous message on social media alluding to a new "relation" with a woman — an announcement that, while cryptic, was in keeping with his unpredictable public persona. Sources within the party confirmed that Lalu Prasad took the rare but firm step to formally expel his elder son from the Rashtriya Janata Dal . 'The message was clear – political survival trumps paternal indulgence,' said a senior party leader familiar with the internal discussions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'Swing is King': Top Trader Hemant's Strategy Finally Explained in this Free Session ! TradeWise Learn More Undo Erratic behavior and public outbursts Tej Pratap's trajectory has been marked by erratic behavior and public outbursts. Despite being appointed Bihar's health minister in 2015, his tenure was more remembered for unorthodox conduct — including reports of bringing a cow into his ministerial bungalow for 'positive energy' and relying on astrologers for official decisions — than for policy outcomes. His 2018 marriage to Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Rai, was initially seen as a strategic political alliance but quickly devolved into scandal. Live Events Tej Pratap filed for divorce within months, while Aishwarya accused him of abuse and erratic behavior. The episode deepened family tensions, with Lalu and Rabri Devi struggling to contain the fallout. Family feud; public confrontations In subsequent years, Tej Pratap frequently skipped key RJD events, launched public attacks against his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav — now widely accepted as Lalu's political successor — and floated vague threats of forming his own political outfit. Saturday's social media post, coming just months ahead of the Bihar assembly elections , appears to have been the final straw. The RJD, seeking to avoid further distractions, made its strongest move yet to distance itself from Tej Pratap. While neither Tejashwi nor other family members issued public statements on the expulsion, party insiders say the decision had been under consideration for some time. The once-promising dynast now finds himself politically adrift — a dramatic fall from grace in Bihar's turbulent political landscape.

Professor in lockup, Ashoka colleagues keep vigil at Rai police station in shifts
Rai (Sonipat): Colleagues of Ali Khan Mahmudabad are keeping him company in "rotating shifts" at Rai police station's lockup in Sonipat, where he has spent a night since his arrest on Sunday morning and will spend another before the local court hears the case again on Tuesday afternoon. The court has, meanwhile, instructed police to fully cooperate in case of any medical emergency with Mahmudabad's wife in the advanced stages of pregnancy. Colleagues have decided they will ensure the 42-year-old professor is not alone for a moment while he is incarcerated. "We're coming here in shifts to ensure someone from the university is always with him. Around 10 faculty members have come to the police station to ensure Mahmudabad has access to basics like food and diabetes medicines. He wears a glucose monitor. The police are slow to respond to requests but are taking care of his medical needs. There has been no mistreatment," Aalok Thakkar, assistant professor at the department of computer science in Ashoka, told TOI on Monday. Mahmudabad was arrested after police cited a complaint by Haryana State Women's Commission chairperson Renu Bhatia to file an FIR under various sections of BNS, including "endangering India's sovereignty" for his comments on Operation Sindoor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'Swing is King': Top Trader Hemant's Strategy Finally Explained in this Free Session ! TradeWise Learn More Undo The police complaint followed a summons from the panel that Mahmudabad – associate professor who heads the political science department – skipped, though he issued an elaborate clarification that the panel had completely misunderstood his comments that were made in a social media post on May 9. The Ashoka University faculty association on Sunday condemned the arrest and described it as "calculated harassment", with several of Mahmudabad's colleagues – besides many other voices in and beyond academia that have since come out in Mahmudabad's support – pointing out that his post had, in fact, praised the Indian Army, denounced warmongering by a section of people, and supported govt's actions against Pakistan. They have found his arrest confounding. "The comments made by Prof Ali, while seen as inappropriate by the complainant, do not warrant arrest in a democratic country. It is completely disproportionate to the alleged offence," a faculty member told TOI. In her police complaint, Bhatia alleged that when the commission visited the university on May 15 – after Mahmudabad skipped the May 14 summons – they could not find him because "the professor was believed to have been sent away or hidden". She also alleged university officials did not cooperate. Faculty members TOI spoke to said the commission's visit coincided with the end of the university semester. At this time, after completing grading, professors are typically away from campus, travelling for research or visiting family. In any case, Mahmudabad lives off-campus in Delhi and commutes daily. His absence from campus was "normal for the end of the semester", the faculty members said, adding should the commission have wanted to meet any other professor, it's likely they too would have been away. Mahmudabad's absence, explained a faculty member, was purely due to the academic calendar, and was in no way an intentional attempt to evade the commission. Kapil Dev Balyan, one of Mahmudabad's lawyers, told TOI arguments on Sunday at the local Sonipat court where the associate professor was produced lasted for almost five hours. Police sources had earlier told TOI they had sought remand for five days. The court granted two. "The police proposed investigating the matter in the professor's local area of Lucknow, which the defence opposed," Balyan said. "There are two FIRs against the professor, number 146 and 147. FIR 146 stems from a complaint filed by Yogesh Jatheri, a village sarpanch. While details are mentioned in the FIR, the story was manipulated and presented differently. As the matter is now sub judice, further comments on the specifics would be inappropriate," he added.

Airbnb removes over 65,000 listings from Spain as country responds to housing protests
Representative Image Spain has ordered Airbnb to block more than 65,000 holiday listings on its platform due to violations of local regulations, the Consumer Rights Ministry has announced. This action comes as Spain grapples with a growing housing affordability crisis that has prompted increased government scrutiny and intervention in the short-term rental market. The housing affordability crisis in Spain has also spurred widespread protests in recent months, with tens of thousands of citizens taking to the streets across the country. Many protesters have reportedly cited the increasing burden of rising housing and rental costs as the reason behind these demonstrations, which is a part of the proliferation of short-term holiday rentals on platforms like Airbnb in popular tourist destinations, including Madrid and Barcelona, a report claims. What Spain's Consumer Rights Ministry said about Airbnb removing these listings In a statement to the reporters (reviewed by the news agency AP), Spain's Consumer Minister Pablo Bustinduy said: 'Enough already with protecting those who make a business out of the right to housing.' The ministry stated that a substantial number of the 65,935 Airbnb listings targeted for withdrawal failed to comply with essential rules, primarily by not including their mandatory license number or by not indicating whether the property owner was an individual or a registered company. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'Swing is King': Mr. Hemant's Strategy Finally Explained in Free Session TradeWise Learn More Undo Furthermore, authorities discovered that some listings provided license numbers that did not correspond with official records, raising further concerns about regulatory compliance and transparency within the platform's offerings in Spain. Last year, Barcelona announced that it would phase out its 10,000 licensed short‑term rental apartments by 2028 to protect housing for full‑time residents. The Spanish government, having notified Airbnb of thousands of noncompliant listings months ago, secured a Madrid high court ruling to immediately remove 5,800 listings, with two further rounds of takedowns planned to reach nearly 66,000 across Madrid, Andalusia, and Catalonia. The ruling came after the company appealed to the court before removing these listings. Airbnb also announced plans to appeal this ruling, with a spokesperson arguing that the ministry lacks the authority to regulate short‑term rentals and relied on 'an indiscriminate methodology' that swept in listings exempt from licensing.
