Aishwarya Rai Levels Explosive Allegations On Tej Pratap And Lalu Family, Ripples In Bihar Politics

Patna: A day after RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party for posting a picture on social media referring to a woman as his girlfriend, Tej Pratap's estranged wife, Aishwarya Rai, questioned Lalu Prasad Yadav, asking what he had done for her. She also alleged that the entire Yadav family was staging a drama to settle the matter before the elections.

Questioning former Bihar Chief Minister and her father-in-law, Tej Pratap Yadav's wife, Aishwarya Rai, asked, "Mere liye kya karenge Laluji… did he ever say anything for me? What will he do for me? But I will fight through this."

Levelling explosive allegations against the Yadav family, Aishwarya Rai further questioned, “Tejashwi Yadav (Tej Pratap Yadav's younger brother), Rabri Devi, and Lalu Prasad Yadav—why were they silent? They are trying to hide all the wrongdoings of his son. They even tried to question my character.”

Yadav family planned this all, alleges Aishwarya Rai      

Referring to Tej Pratap Yadav's alleged relationship, Rai stated, “Now that this matter has come out, they are pretending to act in the interest of social justice by saying Tej has been ousted from the party. But this was all planned—they are doing this just for the sake of elections.”

She further alleged, “The Yadav family has no real concern about this matter. What concerns them more is how this issue surfaced before the elections. All they want is to settle the dust before the polls.”

Expelling Tej Pratap Yadav from RJD is staged, alleges his estranged wife Aishwarya Rai  

Calling Tej Pratap Yadav's expulsion from the RJD a mere drama, Rai remarked, “All of this is just a whitewash.”

"Whatever I have learned about Tej Pratap Yadav's alleged relationship has come through the media. I have been fighting this for the last seven years. Even the divorce issue, I got to know about it through social media. Just imagine the mental trauma I have been going through. Whenever I try to stand up for myself, they (the Yadav family) come and destroy everything," she added.

She further accused the Yadav family of mentally torturing her, pushing her into emotional distress, and claimed that they were powerful enough to manipulate situations to their advantage.

Lalu Yadav expels Tej Pratap Yadav over anti-party activities 

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from family and party for serious breach of moral and social values.

Lalu Yadav termed Tej Pratap’s action as a disregard towards ethical values, after the latter posted a photo of a woman with whom he was in an alleged relationship.

"The activities, public behaviour, and irresponsible conduct of my eldest son are not in line with our family's values and cultural ethos. Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions,” Lalu Yadav said.

"Therefore, due to the above circumstances, I remove him from the party and family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and family. He is expelled from the party for six years. He is capable of seeing the good and bad and merits and demerits of his personal life," the former Bihar CM, who was convicted a fodder scam said.

"All those who will have relations with him should take their own decisions. I have always been an advocate of public shame in public life. The obedient members of the family have adopted and followed this idea in public life. Thank you," Lalu Yadav said.
