What Did Tej Pratap Yadav Post On Social Media?
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday said he was "in a relationship" with a young woman, prompting netizens to recall his marital dispute that made headlines a few years ago.
Tej Pratap, who is the elder son of RJD president Lalu Prasad, made the confession in a Facebook post, sharing a photograph of himself with his current flame.
Yadav wrote, "I am Tej Pratap Yadav and the one seen in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have been known to each other for the last 12 years. We are in love and have been in a relationship for 12 years".
He added, "I have been wanting to share this with you for a long time.....therefore, I am revealing it before you all. I hope you will be able to understand me".

Tej Pratap Yadav's Clarification
Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday claimed that his Facebook page had been "hacked", after the controversial post on the social media platform said that he was "in a relationship" with a young woman.
The elder son of RJD president Lalu Prasad, whose Facebook post has since been deleted, wrote on X on Saturday evening that there was an attempt to "defame and harass" him and his family members.
"My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully," Yadav said, referring to the post that had gone viral and was taken note of by media outlets.
It was not known whether a police complaint has been filed by Yadav about the "hacked" Facebook page and the post.
He, however, urged his supporters and followers to be on their guard and "pay no heed to any rumours".
Yadav had tied the knot with Aishwarya, the grand-daughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Rai. However, within a few months, Aishwarya left his house, alleging that she was driven out by her husband and in-laws.
Her father Chandrika Roy, a former minister himself, quit the RJD, vowing to fight his daughter's battle "politically and legally".
The couple's divorce petition is pending before the family court here. Both sides have since been trading charges. While Yadav has accused his wife of demanding a princely sum by way of alimony, Aishwarya has alleged that her estranged husband was a deviant, who took drugs and, in private, dressed like a woman.
