Patna: RJD president Lalu Prasad on Sunday expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party for six years, citing "irresponsible behaviour". He also severed all family ties with him, announcing the decision in a post on X in the afternoon.
“Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions.
“Therefore, due to these circumstances, I remove him from the party and family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and family. He is expelled from the party for 6 years,” the RJD supremo said.
The decision followed Yadav’s recent Facebook post in which he claimed to be "in a relationship" with a young woman. However, he later alleged that his account had been "hacked".
The post sparked backlash on social media, with many users reminding the 37-year-old politician of his widely publicised marriage in 2018.
"My social media platform was hacked, and my photographs were edited wrongfully," Yadav wrote on X on Saturday night, referring to the post that had gone viral and was taken note of by media outlets.
Yadav had tied the knot with Aishwarya, the granddaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Rai. However, within a few months, Aishwarya left his house, alleging that she was driven out by her husband and in-laws.
