Breaking: Power Struggle in Yadav Family? Tej Pratap Hints at 'Traitor' Within Party | ABP NEWS

On ABP News' primetime debate show Mahadangal, the spotlight was on the growing turmoil inside Bihar’s most powerful political dynasty — the Yadav family. The crisis escalated after Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, publicly revealed he had been in a 12-year relationship with a woman named Anushka, despite being married. This shocking revelation led Lalu Prasad to expel him not only from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for six years but also from the family. Tej Pratap responded by hinting at betrayal within the family, using the word “Jaichand” — a historical term for traitor. Political observers, including veteran journalist Kanhaiya Bhillari, suggested this might be a veiled attack on Sanjay Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav’s political advisor, signaling a possible power struggle within the RJD. BJP spokesperson AK Bajpai lashed out at the Yadavs, calling their family synonymous with “jungle raj” and corruption in Bihar. He accused Tej Pratap of disrespecting women and dismissed the feud as childish antics, but emphasized that the NDA would come to power in Bihar. The debate intensified as it was speculated that Tej Pratap, despite his outburst, would be denied an election ticket, although he might be accommodated later via MLC or Rajya Sabha. The BJP’s Shazia Ilmi also joined the discussion, reinforcing the perception that RJD’s internal discord exposes the weakness of dynastic politics. As personal accusations spilled into the public domain, the question looms: Is this a family breakdown or a carefully timed political chess move? And more importantly — who is the real "Jaichand" in the Yadav family saga?
