"Ignoring moral values ​​in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice," Lalu Yadav wrote.

निजी जीवन में नैतिक मूल्यों की अवहेलना करना हमारे सामाजिक न्याय के लिए सामूहिक संघर्ष को कमज़ोर करता है। ज्येष्ठ पुत्र की गतिविधि, लोक आचरण तथा गैर जिम्मेदाराना व्यवहार हमारे पारिवारिक मूल्यों और संस्कारों के अनुरूप नहीं है। अतएव उपरोक्त परिस्थितियों के चलते उसे पार्टी और परिवार…

"Therefore, due to the above circumstances, I remove him from the party and family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and family. He is expelled from the party for 6 years. He is capable of seeing the good and bad and merits and demerits of his personal life. All those who will have relations with him should make their own decisions. I have always been an advocate of public shame in public life. The obedient members of the family have adopted and followed this idea in public life," Lalu Yadav wrote.

Tej Pratap Yadav claims FB hacked

It seems former MoS Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that his Facebook was hacked after a post went viral claiming he is in a long-term relationship with the woman, named Anushka Yadav.

The post has been removed, but featured a picture with Tej Pratap Yadav with a woman with a caption that said they were in a relationship for 12 years.

That post started out a parade of commentary around social media, with most pointing out that Yadav, 37, in 2018 married Aishwarya Rai, a granddaughter of former Bihar Chief Minister Daroga Rai. Aishwarya Rai left amid controversy, claiming her husband and in-laws were mistreating her.

Tej Pratap Yadav responding on X on Saturday evening, stated that there was a "conspiracy to 'defame and harass'" me and my family, claiming they hacked his social media accounts and his photos had been maliciously edited.

“My social media platform was hacked and my photographs were edited wrongfully,” Yadav wrote, while encouraging his followers to think for themselves and disregard rumors.

It is still uncertain whether Tej Pratap Yadav has lodged a complaint with the police over the alleged hacks.
