Overview
- RJD chief Lalu Prasad visited elder son Tej Pratap Yadav’s Patna residence for a Makar Sankranti dahi‑chura feast, months after expelling him from the party and family in 2025.
- Tejashwi Yadav did not attend the event, as Tej Pratap said he had invited him and later suggested his brother may be influenced by “Jaichands.”
- Tej Pratap told reporters the RJD would merge with his Janshakti Janata Dal, a claim not confirmed by RJD leaders or any formal announcement.
- The feast drew cross-party figures including Governor Arif Mohammad Khan and Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, underscoring Tej Pratap’s wider outreach.
- A day earlier, Tej Pratap mingled with senior NDA leaders at Sinha’s chura‑dahi gathering, prompting fresh speculation about potential realignment that leaders described as unresolved.
