Tej Pratap Yadav’s Airport Encounter Sparks Speculation Amid Bihar Elections
Patna, Bihar – A friendly meeting between Jan Shakti Dal chief Tej Pratap Yadav and BJP MP Ravi Kishan at Patna airport on Friday has ignited speculation about a possible political alliance, just as the Bihar Assembly elections reach a fever pitch.
The two politicians, both having concluded a day of campaigning in different regions of the state, were seen chatting amicably as they exited the airport, drawing the attention of waiting journalists. Yadav, previously a vocal critic of the BJP-RSS and a former leader of the RJD (from which he was expelled), attributed the cordial interaction to a shared devotion to Lord Shiva.
When questioned about the possibility of aligning with the BJP, Yadav, who is contesting the election from Mahua, avoided a direct answer, stating only that he would support anyone who tackles unemployment.
Kishan, a prominent actor-turned-politician from the BJP, fueled the speculation further by stating that “anything can happen” and that the BJP, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “keep doors open for all devotees of Bholenath, who are devoted to selfless service.”
The unexpected encounter comes at a crucial juncture in the Bihar Assembly elections, raising questions about potential shifts in political allegiances.
