In response to questions, he stated, 'All the people of Hasanpur and Mahua are my own. I will contest elections from wherever the public calls me.

RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for 6 years. This decision came when Tej Pratap shared a picture with Anushka Yadav on May 24 and claimed that they have been in a relationship for the last 12 years. However, as soon as the post went viral, he clarified that his social media account was hacked. But, Lalu Yadav took a tough step calling his behavior against family and social values and in a way broke all political ties with him.]
Team Tej Pratap launched
The fallout, nevertheless, has failed to deter the spirits of the controversial leader, who has now launched 'Team Tej Pratap', a new political outfit under his personal banner and declared that he will contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. While he is yet to confirm a seat or party symbol, political circles in the poll-bound state are abuzz with the likelihood of him contesting from the Mahua Assembly seat in Vaishali district.
