Child is not mine: Tej Pratap denies links with Anushka, claims conspiracy
Clarifying his stand, Tej Pratap Yadav said he had no connection with the woman and warned of legal action over what he termed false reporting. He also strongly dismissed rumours that he had a child, alleging that the discussion was fabricated to malign his image.
Tej Pratap Yadav, the Janshakti Janta Dal president, addressed a press conference and strongly objected to his name being linked with his earlier woman ‘partner’ Anushka Yadav, calling the claims circulating on social media “baseless and misleading.” He also strongly dismissed rumours that he had a child, alleging that the discussion was fabricated to malign his image. “A conspiracy is being hatched against me. Some ‘Jaichands’ are continuously trying to defame me,” he said.
He alleged that former RJD MLA from Mahua, Mukesh Roshan, was plotting to kill him. Yadav also named Sanjay Yadav, Shakti Singh and Sunil Singh, accusing them of working against him and attempting to damage his reputation due to his growing popularity.
Clarifying his stand, he said he had no connection with the woman and warned of legal action over what he termed false reporting. “I will approach the court against the misinformation being spread about me,” he added.
Yadav further said he had sought security from Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary and would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi if required. He claimed that attempts were being made to push him into depression through sustained defamation and pressure.
Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Rashtiya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, shared a heartfelt post on Facebook last year, declaring his long-standing relationship with Anushka, only for the politician to later claim that his account had been hacked and the photos edited to defame him and his family.
The post stated that Tej Pratap Yadav and the woman have been in love and in a relationship for the past 12 years.
Later, Tej Pratap was expelled from the party and disowned by his father Lalu Prasad Yadav after making his relationship with his ‘partner’ public. A day after his expulsion, Tej Pratap's estranged wife, Aishwarya Rai, called the RJD supremo's action an eyewash to mislead the people of Bihar.
