Mon May 26 17:07:11 UTC 2025: **Summary:**

Aishwarya Rai, ex-wife of Lalu Prasad’s eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav, publicly accused the Prasad family of ruining her life. This accusation follows Tej Pratap’s expulsion from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for six years due to “irresponsible behavior,” precipitated by his social media announcement (later retracted) of a 12-year relationship with another woman. Rai questioned why she was married into the family despite their knowledge of Tej Pratap’s relationship and alleged mistreatment. Lalu Prasad cited Tej Pratap’s disregard for moral values as the reason for his expulsion, a decision likely influenced by the upcoming assembly election. BJP leader Nikhil Anand dismissed the expulsion as a political maneuver to protect the RJD’s image.

**Lalu Prasad’s Son Expelled Amidst Wife’s Accusations of Ruined Life**

**PATNA, May 26, 2025** – Aishwarya Rai, the former wife of Tej Pratap Yadav, son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, has publicly accused the Prasad family of “ruining her life,” intensifying a family drama that has engulfed Bihar politics. The accusations came just a day after Mr. Prasad expelled his eldest son from the RJD for six years, citing “irresponsible behavior.”

The expulsion was triggered by Tej Pratap Yadav’s social media post, announcing a 12-year relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav. He later claimed his account had been hacked. Yadav’s marriage to Ms. Rai in 2018 ended in a divorce filing within five months.

“Why did they get me married when they knew about his other relationship?” Rai questioned at a press conference, alleging she was mistreated by the family. She accused the family of being together and performing a drama after the expulsion.

Lalu Prasad stated his son’s “immoral act” forced him to expel his son citing concerns about the impact on the party, particularly on the image of his younger son, Tejashwi Yadav, whom the RJD is positioning as the next Chief Minister of Bihar.

The BJP quickly dismissed the expulsion as a political stunt. “It’s an eyewash,” said Bihar BJP leader Nikhil Anand, questioning the sincerity of the RJD’s actions and arguing that significant questions about Ms. Rai’s dignity remain unanswered. Anand suggested that the action was a ploy to protect the RJD’s image ahead of upcoming elections. The controversy raises serious questions about the internal dynamics of one of Bihar’s most prominent political families and its implications for the upcoming political landscape.
