Bihar: In a major political move, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his elder son and former minister Tej Pratap Yadav from the party. The expulsion is set to remain in effect for six years.
Lalu Prasad Yadav stated that Tej Pratap’s personal matters were undermining the party’s collective struggle for social justice. He clarified on social media that Tej Pratap no longer has any place within the RJD or their family.
