'Don't talk nonsense': Tej Pratap slams 'abki baar Tejashwi sarkar' chant; calls out 'ego'

NEW DELHI: Recently expelled from both his family and party in Bihar, Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday made a striking anti-family remark while addressing a gathering in Jehanabad. During the event, when someone from the crowd shouted " Abki Baar Tejashwi Sarkar ," Tej Pratap reacted sharply.

"Don’t talk nonsense here… Government is formed by people, not by an individual. Nobody should be egoistic about it. ‘Jo Ghamand Mein Rahega, Vo Jaldi Girega’,"he said.

He added, "Don’t fall for those who are trying to break the ‘ Team Tej Pratap Yadav ’. Someone tried to break me, but god gave me another chance. The one who can’t be loyal to their own people, what can they do for the citizens? I don't have the greed to be the CM."

Back in May, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad expelled his eldest son from both the family and the party for six years, citing disregard for moral values in personal life.

"Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. The actions, public conduct, and irresponsible behavior of my eldest son are not in accordance with our family’s principles. Therefore, under these circumstances, I am removing him from the party and the family. Effective immediately, he will have no role of any kind in either. He is expelled from the party for six years," Lalu had said.
