Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, on Tuesday congratulated his younger brother, Tejashwi Yadav, on the birth of his son.

This gesture comes just two days after Tej Pratap was expelled from both the RJD and the family by their father, citing “irresponsible behaviour” and a breach of family values.

In a social media post on X, Tej Pratap shared a photograph of the newborn along with Tejashwi, writing, “With the infinite grace and blessings of Shri Banke Bihari Ji, I have got the good fortune of becoming the elder father on the arrival of the newborn baby (the birth of a son).”

“Hearty congratulations and best wishes to younger brother Tejaswi Prasad Yadav and Raj Shri Yadav… My affectionate blessings and love to the nephew,” he added.

The birth of Tejashwi’s son was announced earlier in the day, with Tejashwi sharing the news on X, stating, “Good Morning! The wait is finally over! So grateful, blessed and pleased to announce the arrival of our little boy. Jai Hanuman!” He also posted a photograph of the baby boy.

According to a family member, the baby was born at a private hospital in Kolkata, where Rajshree had been admitted for the past few days. Lalu and his wife Rabri Devi also arrived in the city and headed straight to the hospital from the airport, PTI reported.

However, it is not known whether Tej Pratap was present at the hospital with his estranged family.

Tej Pratap was expelled from the Rashtriya Janata Dal on Sunday, with the announcement made by his father and party chief, Lalu Prasad Yadav.

“The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions… I remove him from the party and the family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and the family. He is expelled from the party for six years,” Lalu had stated in a post on X.

The move followed a controversial Facebook post by Tej Pratap, in which he claimed to have been in a relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav for 12 years. He later said the post was the result of his account being “hacked.”
