Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD leader Lalu Yadav, has come forward with significant claims regarding the viral photo that featured him and Anushka Yadav. The photo, which hinted at a 12-year relationship, sparked controversy. Tej Pratap now accuses Anushka Yadav’s brother, Akash Yadav, of being behind the circulation of the image.
Tej Pratap alleges that Akash Yadav was responsible for the photo’s widespread distribution, calling those involved “traitors” who aimed to damage his reputation. He emphasized that their goal was to continuously share the photo to cause harm.
In response to the photo going viral, Tej Pratap challenged Akash Yadav, suggesting that his actions would not be sustained. Akash Yadav had previously expressed solidarity with Tej Pratap, promising to seek justice for him. Tej Pratap questioned Akash’s ability to deliver justice and accused him of being part of a larger plot to falsely implicate and undermine him.
Tej Pratap Yadav also shared a post on X, stating that Akash Yadav, along with some “traitors,” circulated the photo to sabotage his political career. He expressed his determination to overcome this attempt and to move forward with greater strength. The photo’s circulation followed Lalu Yadav’s decision to expel Tej Pratap from the party for six years. As a result, Tej Pratap announced the formation of a new party, the Janashakti Janata Dal, before the Bihar assembly elections.
Akash Yadav had also criticized the RJD’s decision to expel Tej Pratap. Subsequently, Akash Yadav was removed from his position as the president of the student wing of the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party after the photo of Tej Pratap and his sister surfaced.
