Tej Pratap Yadav’s Expulsion from RJD
Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and his family by RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on May 25, 2025, for a period of six years. The expulsion came after repeated internal disputes and public disagreements within the family and the party. The decision followed a controversial social media post by Tej Pratap, which reportedly went against the party’s code of conduct and family traditions.
Formation of Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD)
Following his expulsion, Tej Pratap Yadav launched his own political outfit, the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), in September 2025. The new party aims to contest the ongoing Bihar Assembly Elections independently. Yadav announced his candidature from the Mahua constituency, where he faces a multi-cornered contest against RJD’s Mukesh Kumar Raushan, LJP’s Sanjay Singh, and Independent candidate Ashma Parveen.
