Patna – In the midst of a growing family feud, Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, has called for investigations into whether his parents, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, are being subjected to mental harassment. Tej Pratap, the founder of Janshakti Janata Dal, has requested the Centre and the Bihar government to intervene, expressing concern over the well-being of his parents amidst the ongoing family tensions.
Tej Pratap voiced his concerns in a social media post on Tuesday, where he blamed "Jaichands" (a metaphor for traitors) for attempting to keep his parents under mental and physical pressure. He argued that such actions are not only an attack on his family but also a blow to the soul of the RJD. He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the Bihar government to conduct an impartial and immediate investigation into the matter.
The appeal comes in the wake of public allegations by his sister, Rohini Acharya, who claimed she was humiliated by her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his aide, Sanjay Yadav. Tej Pratap has also extended his support to Rohini Acharya. Rohini had earlier expressed her pain and announced her decision to disown her family, blaming Tejashwi Yadav's aides for the RJD's poor performance in the recent Bihar polls.
Tej Pratap also alleged that RJD tickets were distributed in exchange for money, and that "traitors" were destroying the party and the family. He further demanded that an FIR be filed against Sanjay Yadav, Rameez Nemat Khan, and Pritam Yadav if they are found to have inflicted any harm on his parents or sister. He emphasized that his father is already unwell and cannot bear such pressure.
Rohini Acharya, who had donated a kidney to her father a few years ago, has also hit back at those who have questioned her motives, challenging them to an open debate. She has accused Tejashwi's close aides of making her an orphan and driving her out of her parents' home.
Tej Pratap has warned that he will not tolerate any insults to his sister and that the "Jaichands" will have to face the consequences of their misdeeds. He stated that the people of Bihar will never forgive those who target his family.
