Tejashwi and Tej Pratap Face Starkly Different Battles in Bihar Elections
In the upcoming Bihar elections, brothers Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav are locked in a fierce contest for neighbouring assembly seats, but their political journeys could not be more different. Tejashwi, backed by the family and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), enjoys the strong legacy of their father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, especially in Raghopur, where his name carries significant weight. This advantage gives Tejashwi a solid footing against his rivals. On the other hand, Tej Pratap is contesting from the Mahua constituency as a candidate of his own party after being disowned by his parents and expelled from the RJD. Without the family’s backing, Tej Pratap faces an uphill battle amid growing challenges from established political forces. The contrast highlights deep family and political divisions, making the electoral fight not just a test of popularity but also of personal resilience for both brothers.
