RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav’s estranged son Tej Pratap Yadav on Tuesday announced the formation of a coalition of five minor parties to contest the upcoming Bihar elections.

The five parties are Vikas Vanchit Insaan Party (VVIP), Bhojpuriya Jan Morcha (BJM), Pragatisheel Janta Party (PJP), Wajib Adhikar Party (WAP) and Sanyukt Kisan Vikas Party (SKVP). This came hours after Tej Pratap announced an alliance with the VVIP, led by Pradeep Nishad.

The former Bihar minister, who was expelled from the party on May 25 by his father Lalu Prasad for six years over his “relationship” with a woman named Anushka, had previously announced that he would contest the upcoming Assembly elections from Mahua seat in Vaishali district as an independent candidate.

“People are free to make fun of me, but I will tread my own path. Our coalition will move forward together to ensure social justice, social rights, and the complete transformation of Bihar,” he said. “If people give us the mandate, we will work towards the development of the state.”

Tej Pratap On Tejashwi’s Participation

Speaking to reporters, Tej Pratap said he was not on talking terms with Tejashwi Yadav but gave his blessings to his younger brother. “Tejashwi Yadav won’t contest from Mahua ever. I have always blessed him… No, we are not on talking terms,” he said.

Without taking names, Tej Pratap said he was a victim of injustice and claimed that several people were out to “break us”. “Many people would be thinking that we will be destroyed in this battle, but our unity is our strength,” he added.

Pradeep Nishad was previously an active leader of the VIP (Vikassheel Insaan Party). However, he recently parted ways with the party’s founder, Mukesh Sahani, and has formed his own political party. It is believed that differences in ideology and a desire to give distinct political representation to the Nishad community led him to take this step.

Political analysts believe that Tej Pratap’s move could shift the dynamics of the opposition in Bihar after his fallout with the RJD. He is currently the MLA of the Hasanpur seat in Samastipur district.

Last month, the estranged son of the Yadav family launched a new Facebook page titled ‘Team Tej Pratap’, notably omitting his father’s party name and election symbol. The page features the slogan, “Jiska Kaayam Hai Pratap, Wahi Hai Aapka Apna Tej Pratap,” and Tej Pratap Yadav has announced that all his activities will be shared through this platform.
