The Yadav brothers of Bihar politics are once again making headlines as Tej Pratap Yadav took a public swipe at his brother Tejashwi Yadav, referring to him as a “bachaa” and saying he only gave him a “jhunjhuna” to play with.
This fresh round of sibling rivalry comes at a crucial time for the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which is preparing for the next Bihar Assembly election. Tej Pratap also dropped a bombshell by saying he may campaign in Raghopur, Tejashwi’s constituency, a move that could cause political embarrassment within the family-led party.
Behind the remark:
Political insiders believe the elder brother feels sidelined as Tejashwi continues to consolidate power as RJD’s de facto leader. Tej Pratap’s statement appears to be a warning shot against being overlooked in key party strategies.
Reactions within the party:
While senior RJD leaders have refrained from making direct comments, the episode has fueled speculation about deepening divisions in the Yadav family. Party loyalists are calling for calm, saying that both brothers need to stay united to take on the NDA in 2025.
What’s next:
Tej Pratap’s statement about campaigning in Raghopur could turn the constituency into a political battleground — not just between RJD and rivals, but within the Yadav family itself.
