Bihar Elections 2025: Family Rift Deepens As Tejashwi And Tej Pratap Yadav Clash In Mahua

As the Bihar elections approach, a visible rift has emerged within the Lalu Yadav family, with both brothers Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav appearing on opposite sides of the political battlefield. During a campaign rally in Mahua, Tejashwi Yadav, while strongly endorsing RJD candidate Mukesh Roshan, made a pointed remark that “no one is above the party, the party is like a father if the party exists, everything exists.” His statement was widely seen as a veiled attack on his elder brother, Tej Pratap, who has been contesting independently in the same region.Responding to Tejashwi’s comments, Tej Pratap hit back, asserting that “the real power lies with the people, not the party,” calling Mahua his political karmabhoomi. The rift has put the Lalu family in an awkward position while both sons of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav are in the fray, the family, including sisters Rohini Acharya and Ragini Yadav, have openly campaigned only for Tejashwi. The emotional divide underscores the growing tension within Bihar’s most prominent political family, as loyalty, legacy, and leadership collide in the heat of the 2025 polls.
