A controversial Facebook post from his verified account on May 24, 2025, claimed a 12-year-long romantic relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav.

Who is Anushka Yadav?
Anushka Yadav, though previously unknown to the public, has quickly become a household name. Reportedly, she is the sister of Akash Yadav, a former RJD member who was ousted from his role by Tejashwi Yadav. Her connection with Tej Pratap allegedly dates back over a decade, making the revelation even more sensational.
The leaked post, along with photos and videos surfacing online—including what appears to be a secret wedding ceremony—has left political analysts scrambling to decode the real story behind the claims.
The Controversial Post That Started It All
The now-deleted Facebook post from Tej Pratap’s account featured a photo of him with Anushka and read:
“For 12 years we have loved each other, quietly and sincerely. Today, I choose transparency over politics.”
Within hours, the post went viral, drawing a barrage of reactions—some sympathetic, many critical. While some hailed Tej Pratap’s courage, others saw it as a reckless move with damaging political implications.
Shortly thereafter, Tej Pratap claimed his account had been hacked, denying any association with the post. He accused unknown elements of trying to malign his reputation and destabilize the Yadav family.
Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Stern Response
The elder Yadav, Lalu Prasad, did not take the controversy lightly. On May 25, 2025, he announced that Tej Pratap was being expelled from the Rashtriya Janata Dal for six years and disowned from the family. In a strongly worded statement, Lalu cited Tej’s “irresponsible behavior” and failure to uphold the “moral standards of the party.”
This isn’t the first time Tej Pratap has found himself at odds with the party leadership, but it is certainly the most severe consequence he has faced.
Tejashwi Yadav Breaks His Silence
Tejashwi Yadav, leader of opposition in Bihar and Tej Pratap’s younger brother, supported Lalu’s decision. “While everyone is entitled to personal choices, actions that bring disrepute to our party and legacy cannot be tolerated,” he said during a press briefing.
This public endorsement of the expulsion solidified rumors of growing internal tension within the Yadav family. Political insiders suggest that this may widen the rift between the two brothers irreparably.
Viral Photos and Allegations of Fabrication
To intensify the drama, more photos and videos of Tej Pratap and Anushka Yadav have since emerged on various social media platforms. One video shows the two engaged in what appears to be wedding rituals, leading to wild speculation about a secret marriage.
Tej Pratap has dismissed these visuals as “AI-generated and deepfake content” meant to target him amid internal political power struggles. However, tech experts and journalists are now examining the authenticity of the footage.
Public Reactions and Media Frenzy
The public response has been a mix of curiosity, judgment, and sympathy. While some netizens supported Tej Pratap’s right to love and privacy, others questioned the timing and the political fallout of such disclosures.
Prime-time debates across channels like NDTV, Aaj Tak, and Times Now have kept the topic alive for days, with political commentators warning that this scandal could negatively impact RJD’s image just ahead of crucial by-elections in Bihar.
Political Ramifications for the RJD
The RJD has historically projected itself as a party rooted in social justice and traditional family values. This controversy hits at the core of that image. Experts believe that the move to expel Tej Pratap is a damage-control measure aimed at salvaging the party’s credibility.
However, with the growing influence of Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu’s declining health, this could also signal a transition of power within the family one that might see Tej Pratap politically marginalized for the foreseeable future.
What Happens Next?
As of now:
- Tej Pratap remains expelled from the RJD for six years.
- His relationship with Anushka Yadav remains unconfirmed officially.
- Investigations into the alleged hacking of his account are underway.
- Lalu and Tejashwi Yadav are focused on crisis management to control the fallout.
Sources close to the family suggest that attempts are being made behind closed doors to resolve the matter, but the damage to both public perception and internal unity may be long-lasting.
Conclusion: A Personal Storm With Political Consequences
Whether or not the claims made about Anushka Yadav are true, the political cost to Tej Pratap Yadav is real and significant. His expulsion marks a dramatic low in a political career already marked by controversies. More importantly, it opens up uncomfortable questions about transparency, personal freedom, and political accountability within Indian dynastic politics.
As the dust settles, the nation watches closely to see whether this is the end of Tej Pratap’s political road or just a scandalous detour on a longer journey.
