Why Did the Lalu Family Suddenly Head to Kolkata Amidst Tej Pratap Yadav’s Controversy?

Published on

The political situation in Bihar has been stirred by the personal life of Tej Pratap Yadav, son of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav. Recently, Tej Pratap’s revelation about his long-hidden love story has sent shockwaves through the state’s politics, and now, amidst the controversy, the Lalu family has made an unexpected trip to Kolkata. But what’s behind this sudden move? Why did the family travel together, and what does it mean for the ongoing political crisis? Let’s break it down.

Tej Pratap Yadav’s Love Story Shakes Bihar Politics

On the evening of May 25, Tej Pratap Yadav posted on social media about his 12-year-old love story, which immediately became the talk of the town. The revelation shook the foundations of Bihar politics, particularly the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the party led by his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and his younger brother,Tejashwi Yadav. The post caused significant embarrassment for the family and the party.

However, the situation quickly escalated when Tej Pratap’s wife, Aishwarya Rai, filed for divorce and publicly lashed out at the family. Her statements on social media and before the media cameras brought further attention to the growing family rift. Amidst these tensions, news emerged that the Lalu family had suddenly departed for Kolkata, leading to widespread speculation and concern in Bihar.

Lalu Family’s Sudden Trip to Kolkata: What’s the Reason?

Following the controversy surrounding Tej Pratap, the Lalu family’s sudden trip to Kolkata raised many questions. The public and media were left wondering about the timing and reason for the trip, especially considering the ongoing family drama. It was later revealed that the primary reason behind the trip was Tejashwi Yadav’s wife, Rajshri Yadav, who is pregnant and is due to give birth soon.

Given that Rajshri is in the final stages of her pregnancy, the family decided to accompany her to Kolkata for the delivery. This trip, therefore, was not just a family visit but also an important personal milestone. The family, including Lalu Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi, traveled via an Air India flight from Patna to Kolkata to be by Rajshri’s side during the delivery.

A Moment of Joy Amidst Family Struggles

This visit to Kolkata signifies that theLalu family is about to experience a moment of joy. Tejashwi Yadav, who is expecting his first child with his wife Rajshri, is about to become a father. The birth of his child is expected to bring renewed happiness to the family, which has been facing intense scrutiny and political drama lately.

Interestingly, the Lalu family had also visited Kolkata in March 2025 to attend the birthday of Tejashwi’s daughter, Katyani. However, this time, the trip to Kolkata comes at a more complicated moment for the family, given the ongoing feud surrounding Tej Pratap Yadav’s personal life.

Misa Bharti Breaks Silence on Tej Pratap’s Controversy

Before leaving for Kolkata, Misa Bharti, the elder daughter of Lalu Yadav, made a statement about the ongoing family dispute and Tej Pratap’s recent removal from the party. Misa, who is also a Member of Parliament, clarified that her father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, had already made his stance clear on the issue of Tej Pratap, saying that he was no longer part of the family’s political agenda.

“Our family head and the national president of our party have made their stand clear. We do not need to say anything further,” Misa Bharti remarked.

She also responded to the accusations made by Tej Pratap’s wife, Aishwarya, stating that the matter was now in the court and that the family had no further comments on it. This indicates the family’s attempt to downplay the ongoing drama and maintain a public front of unity in the face of internal discord.

The Impact of Tej Pratap Yadav’s Personal Life on Bihar Politics

The ongoing drama surrounding Tej Pratap Yadav’s personal life has had significant repercussions for the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). The party, which has long been a pillar of Bihar politics, is now facing public backlash and internal turmoil. Tej Pratap’s controversial love life, the tensions between him and his family, and his removal from the party have cast a shadow on the party’s reputation.

Tej Pratap’s behavior and his outspoken views have often made headlines in the past, but the recent turn of events, with his wife Aishwarya seeking a divorce and publicly criticizing the family, has made it a full-blown crisis for the Yadav family. As the RJD continues to fight these challenges, the Lalu family must navigate the personal and political fallout.

What’s Next for Tej Pratap Yadav and the RJD?

While the family is dealing with personal issues, the political future of Tej Pratap Yadav and his role within RJD remains uncertain. The party has made it clear that he is no longer part of their political activities, but his strong presence in Bihar politics and his significant following among certain sections of the population make it unclear whether he will continue to have an impact in the future.

The RJD’s internal conflicts are now in the spotlight, and the party must focus on rebuilding its image while also addressing its internal family issues. As the 2025 Bihar elections approach, these developments could influence the party’s standing and its political prospects in the state.

A Family in Turmoil Amidst Political Drama

The sudden trip of the Lalu family to Kolkata was a significant moment in the ongoing drama that has engulfed the Yadav family. WithTej Pratap’s personal life now in the public eye, and the political fallout from his actions continuing to unfold, the Lalu family is in the midst of a complex situation.

While the family braces for the arrival of a new member with Tejashwi Yadav becoming a father, the political landscape in Bihar remains unpredictable. The coming weeks will likely see further developments as the RJD navigates through personal and political challenges.
