Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad on Sunday (May 25, 2025) expelled his eldest son and Hasanpur MLA Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for six years following his video with a girl going viral on social media on Saturday (May 24).

Mr. Prasad posted a message on social media X saying, “Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens the collective struggle for social cause. The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions. Therefore, due to the above 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.”

Mr. Prasad further said, “He is capable of seeing the good and bad and merits and demerits of his personal life. All those who will have relations with him should take their own decisions. I have always been an advocate of public shame in public life. The obedient members of the family have adopted and followed thus idea in public life.”.

Sources in the party said that Mr. Prasad has taken the decision and disowned his elder son after he posted some pictures of his remarriage with a girl named Anushka Yadav.

Later he deleted that post claiming that it was allegedly hacked.

His act seems to have infuriated Mr. Prasad who was forced to take this bold decision.

Party sources said that Mr. Prasad has earlier ignored his many mistakes and blunder in past but his act ahead of the Assembly elections may cost the political future and public image of his younger son Tejashwi Yadav who is being projected as next Chief Minister of Bihar.
