In a dramatic political turn ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, declared that he no longer has his father’s “shadow” and will now fight on his own strength. Speaking after his expulsion from both the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and his family home, Tej Pratap announced the launch of his new political outfit — Jan Shakti Janata Dal (JJD) — and vowed to contest the upcoming elections independently.
