Tej Pratap Yadav, who has faced recent expulsion from both his family and party, has displayed a clear disagreement with his brother, Tejashwi Yadav, a prominent figure in the RJD. Speaking at a public event in Jehanabad, he took issue with the slogan “Abki Baar Tejashwi Sarkar.” He rebuked the phrase, emphasizing that governance is a product of the populace, not the achievement of one person. He cautioned against arrogance, asserting that those who carry themselves with hubris are destined for a fall. He also stated that he does not want to be Chief Minister.
Tej Pratap has announced that he will contest as an independent candidate from the Mahua assembly constituency. He has accused certain individuals of conspiring against him and working to damage his political career. He has also warned Tejashwi to beware of those he considers to be betraying him. With the upcoming assembly elections drawing near, Tej Pratap’s public statements are putting increasing pressure on Tejashwi Yadav. This rift between the brothers may cause fragmentation within the Yadav voter base, which could create difficulties for the party during the election.
