The results of Bihar elections will be declared on 14th November, but even before that, indications regarding government alliance have started coming. Amidst the possibilities of government formation, a question is increasingly arising in the minds of people that if Tej Pratap Yadav wins the elections, then how much impact will it have on the politics of Bihar and RJD?

Tej Pratap Yadav is the elder son of Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi, but Lalu Yadav has chosen Tejashwi Yadav as his successor. Lalu Yadav has expelled Tej Pratap Yadav from the party because his conduct is against social values. Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap do not openly oppose each other, but their antagonisms have been continuously exposed.

What will be the impact of Tej Pratap’s victory on the party?

Tej Pratap Yadav is contesting from Mahua assembly seat in 2025 assembly. After being expelled from the party by Lalu Yadav, he has formed his new party, which has been named – Janshakti Janata Dal. Tej Pratap Yadav has also been MLA from Mahua assembly seat in 2015, however, in the 2020 elections, he was given ticket from Hasanpur assembly seat and not from Mahua. He is not RJD’s candidate in 2025 and his competition on Mahua assembly seat is against RJD’s official candidate Mukesh Roshan. There is a close contest between Tej Pratap and Mukesh Roshan, who will win will be known only on November 14, but speculations are being made that what will happen if Tej Pratap Yadav wins the election?

What is the attitude of the family regarding Tej Pratap?

Lalu Yadav may have expelled Tej Pratap Yadav from the party, but it is his heartfelt wish that Tej Pratap Yadav should win the elections. Tej Pratap Yadav is his elder son and also his favorite. Tej Pratap has always been dear to Rabri Devi and Tej Pratap also loves her equally.

Before voting on November 6, Rabri Devi and Rohini Acharya blessed Tej Pratap for victory. Although she was avoiding talking about this topic before voting, but just before voting, mother and sister have openly spoken in support of Tej Pratap. It is clear from this that Tej Pratap’s family wants him to win the elections. If we talk about Tejashwi Yadav, his situation is a little different in this matter. He had gone to Mahua for election campaign and campaigned against his brother. Tejashwi Yadav asked for votes for RJD’s official candidate Mukesh Roshan, hence it can be assumed that Tejashwi does not want Tej Pratap’s victory.

Will Tej Pratap become king maker?

Every effort was made to talk to Tej Pratap Yadav to know what he thinks about his victory and the subsequent strategy, but his phone number was out of range. It is possible that he is busy in elections, but about three months ago he had said in the Prabhat Khabar podcast that he wants to play the role of kingmaker in the 2025 elections. He had said that he was not going to any party to explore possibilities. If Tej Pratap Yadav wins the election and NDA’s seats remain less, then there is a possibility that an attempt will be made to bring Tej Pratap Yadav along. Providing Y category security to Tej Pratap Yadav points to similar possible strategies. Tej Pratap Yadav has kept all his options open right now. His warm meeting with BJP leader Ravikishan recently at the airport indicates this. Big leaders like Dharmendra Pradhan are in Patna to review the election results and possible strategies, although no public information about the meeting with Tej Pratap has come to the fore yet.
