Has Tejashwi lost Bihar forever? Lalu’s son Tej Pratap announces support to BJP-led NDA, makes big offer to sister Rohini

New Delhi: Bihar politics has taken a major and shocking turn. Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, has surprised everyone by deciding to support the NDA. This decision was officially taken at a meeting of his party, the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD). Furthermore, Tej Pratap has also offered his sister Rohini Acharya, who has recently been speaking out against Tejashwi Yadav, to join his party. The party has also proposed making Rohini the national patron of the JJD.

Tej Pratap-Rohini vs. Tejashwi

Tej Pratap’s move has dealt a severe blow to Lalu Prasad Yadav. This decision is considered extremely significant amid the RJD’s crushing defeat in the assembly elections and the family tension between Tej Pratap, Rohini, and Tejashwi. Lalu Yadav, who has opposed the BJP politically all his life, his son has announced his support for the BJP-led NDA. Tej Pratap’s announcement has created a new stir in Bihar politics, especially when the RJD is under tremendous pressure due to its electoral defeat.

Unanimous Decision

According to reports, the decision to provide “moral support” to the NDA was taken unanimously at the JJD core committee meeting. JJD national spokesperson Prem Yadav stated that the national president will soon speak with Rohini Acharya and request her to take over as national patron. However, he clarified that this is not a formal alliance, but rather moral support. Political analysts view this as Tej Pratap’s strategy to establish his own political identity. Tej Pratap claimed that the JJD is the true party of Lalu Yadav’s ideology.

Proposal to make his sister the party’s patron

Tej Pratap Yadav has already made it clear that he will never return to the RJD. He says he will pursue politics independently and serve the people. Recently, Tejashwi and Tej Pratap came face to face at a Patna mall, but the two brothers did not speak to each other. This further highlights the ongoing tension within the family. Tej Pratap’s decision to support the NDA is shaping new political dynamics in Bihar, the effects of which will be clearly visible in the future.
