PATNA: Former Bihar Minister Tej Pratap Yadav did not predict that the bicycle that he ventured on to protest against rising petrol and diesel prices would actually make him ‘bite the dust’. Visuals showed him taking a steep right while taking over the jeep of his security personnel. While doing so, his bike skid along the road and he plunged on to the ground. Fortunately, he did not suffer injuries as his entourage immediately jumped in to lift him up.

He also took bath at the home of a Dalit in Karhatiya panchayat area in Mahua in Bihar. He shared pictures on Twitter saying he enjoyed a “sweet experience”. Earlier this month, Tej had hinted at quitting politics. However, he dismissed reports of leaving politics due to family pressure saying his “hacked” Facebook page was a conspiracy of the BJP and RSS. It is also being speculated that Tej’s wife Aishwarya may enter politics in Bihar and could be fielded from Lalu’s traditional parliamentary seat Saran in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
