Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav recently made a personal revelation on social media that has stirred widespread curiosity. On Saturday, May 24, 2025, Tej Pratap shared an emotional post, disclosing that he has been in a relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav for the past 12 years. His announcement sparked conversations both online and within political circles regarding the future of this relationship.
Meanwhile, RJD president Lalu Prasad on Sunday expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for six years for "irresponsible behaviour", and also snapped all family ties with him.
Tej Pratap posted a picture of himself with Anushka on his official social media account and wrote, “I am Tej Pratap Yadav, and the person with me in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We have known and loved each other for the past 12 years. We’ve been in a relationship for all these years. I’ve wanted to share this with all of you for a long time but didn’t know how to express it. Today, through this post, I am opening my heart to you all. I hope you understand me.” The post immediately drew attention, with followers and the public expressing interest in knowing more about the couple and their future.
Who Is Anushka Yadav?
Little is known about Anushka Yadav publicly. Prior to Tej Pratap’s announcement, her name was largely absent from political and media discussions. According to some sources, Anushka is believed to be from Bihar, and the two reportedly met over a decade ago. However, details about her background, education, or profession remain undisclosed. In his post, Tej Pratap referred to Anushka as an important part of his life, suggesting that their relationship is deep and longstanding.
The revelation has naturally raised several questions. Will the relationship culminate in marriage? Could it have political implications, especially considering Tej Pratap’s prominent role in Bihar politics? These are questions that only time will answer. For now, the post has become a major talking point on social media and among political observers.
Reactions to Tej Pratap’s post have been mixed. While many extended congratulations and expressed support for the couple, others questioned the timing and speculated on possible political motives. Some users felt this could be a move to make Tej Pratap’s personal life more transparent, while others interpreted it as a strategy to soften his public image. Regardless of the interpretations, the post has succeeded in bringing his personal life into the spotlight, adding a new layer of public interest to his political persona.
