Tejashwi Yadav addressed his brother Tej Pratap’s Facebook post confessing a 12-year relationship amidst divorce proceedings, stating the party disapproves but respects his autonomy. Lalu Prasad Yadav subsequently expelled Tej Pratap from the RJD for six years, citing disregard for moral values and family principles. The expulsion follows Tej Pratap’s troubled marriage to Aishwarya Rai and ongoing divorce battle.
