Bihar elections: Tej Pratap Yadav to be kingmaker or ‘troublemaker’ in RJD?
Usually, the evening of Patna is very noisy. But in the areas where the leaders are home, the evening turns into a night with great beauty. Whether it is a circular road in Patna, an anne road or a stand road.
Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar Health Minister, lives in a separate house from his brother Tejashwi and mother Rabri Devi.
The distance between the two houses is barely one and a half kilometers. A crowd of some people is standing outside Tej Pratap Yadav’s house on Thursday evening. The crowd waits for the large iron gate to open and upon closing it begins to wait for the reopening.
In this crowd is Mohammad Ansari from Gaya. Sunglasses in the eyes with a hat on the forehead. Listening to a video by turning on the speaker placed in the mobile ear.
I asked, “What are you listening to? ”
Ansari says, “I hear Mushaira.”
Just after answering this, they start listening again.
Have you come for a ticket?
“There are some things that are not told,” says Ansari.
When the matter escalated, they too opened up and said, “The leader who has to become big does not live through such a gate. Rather, he has to open the gate and see how he is doing to those who are waiting outside. So we like Kejriwal . “
Outside the gate, Tej Pratap Yadav’s private bouncer stands. Their eyes are staring everywhere. Meanwhile, the mini gate inside the gate opens and I reach inside. Tej Pratap is meeting with his supporters. Some have come to ask for tickets, some are from the area from where they are going to contest this time. This time, Tej Pratap has changed his constituency from Mahua to Hasanpur.
A TV journalist standing inside said, “You have just come, we have been waiting here for four hours.”
The cameraman accompanying him cursed himself, saying, “We should have done it right away. We made a mistake.”
How much glory in the glory
Eventually Tej Pratap came out surrounded by his supporters. Put a sandalwood tilak on the forehead in a chajachak kurta pajama and Tej Pratap tied the top looks like a modern priest.
He is heading towards his office when someone gave a voice – ‘Sir, I have come Professor. Please give some blessings. Tej Pratap pauses and Professor Saheb stands in a obnoxious posture.
During that time, Choubey is standing in front of Tej Pratap with files like any old scribe. Choubey’s posture is absolutely permanent. Neither their eyelids blink nor the thick mustache above the lips move.
I thought to ask – ‘Chaubey Ji, where did you get such a lasting feeling?’
There are four-five pens in the pocket of Chaubey’s shirt and files in both hands. If anyone gives anything to Tej Pratap, he comes into Choubey’s hands the next moment.
A friend standing with me, looking at Choubey, said, “Choubey has decided the purpose of his life. How can one get the answer to this difficult and complicated question?”
Tej Pratap introduces Chaubey Ji – “This is what our account book sees. Ka Chaubey Ji?”
Mr. Choubey agrees with the whole body and then stands in the same spirit. Meanwhile, when someone tries to make a video out of the mobile, Tej Pratap flares up and asks a person standing with him to snatch the mobile and check.
People who keep an eye on the politics of Bihar and the Lalu family seem to agree that Lalu Yadav has been a complete package of his style and political wisdom, but in both sons, this quality of Lalu was distributed. Meaning, Tej went into Pratap and Prudence in Tejaswi.
The same question was asked by Tej Pratap that people say that Lalu ji’s style is in you and understanding is bright.
Tej Pratap was happy with Lalu’s style of being himself, but disagreed on what was unintelligible and said, “These are some of the most sold media people, they say the same.”
However, Faizan Ahmed, who has been a journalist for two decades in the Times of India and Telegraph, says that there is no one with Lalu in both sons.
He says, “The way in which Lalu used to meet his leaders and supporters, it is absolutely not in him. Neither he has that speech nor political acumen. Tejashwi Yadav could learn from the leaders of his party, to shore up It has been done. Raghuvansh Babu has now died but he is also completely ignored. Abdul Bari Siddiqui and Ramchandra Poorve are also being ignored. Even though Jagadanand Singh is the state president, but who listens to him? “
Tej Pratap’s house does not feel luxury from anywhere. It is a simple house like the house of a government employee. An office has been built in the campus of that house. There is a gallery in this office, where pictures of his family and father’s political life are hanging.
Kingmaker or Troublemaker?
Tej Pratap has no problem with Tejashwi being the chief ministerial candidate, but he says he will remain in the role of kingmaker. Does Tej Pratap not have the desire to become the Chief Minister? In response to this question, he says, “We will be kingmakers. Just like Lalu ji was.”
If Tej Pratap will make Tejashwi as King then the answer will not be very positive for RJD because there will be a lot of harmony between King and Kingmaker because sometimes King starts to understand himself and sometimes Kingmaker.
Faizan Ahmed says that Tej Pratap Yadav is not known to be a kingmaker in RJD but he will definitely become a ‘troublemaker’.
Faizan Ahmed says, “This was done by Tej Pratap during the Lok Sabha elections as well. He was starting to field his candidate.”
Angry less than Nitish
Nitish Kumar came with RJD in 2015 but then again with BJP within 16 months. For 16 months, Tejashwi was the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and Tej Pratap was the Health Minister. But in the mind of Tej Pratap, there was no bitterness about Nitish Kumar to the extent that PM Modi and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi have.
When Tej Pratap sits alone, who gets the most anger?
In response, he says, “Both of them are very angry. Both of them get angry. We identify bad people. We have learned so much from my father.”
Are you not angry with Nitish Kumar? He says, “What will happen to Nitish Kumar. He keeps on sneaking around. It comes at him too, but more both comes to Modi.”
RJD has been identified as a party of Yadavs. In 2005, RJD lost and Nitish Kumar became the Chief Minister, then Yadav Raj was told in Bihar’s media till the end. RJD’s vote bank is also considered Yadavs and Muslims. But Tej Pratap says that caste and religion do not matter to him.
He says, “The word caste should be abolished. For me, caste does not matter. To me, a person is bigger than religion.”
However, where Tej Pratap is an MLA and from Hasanpur, who is going to contest this time, there is a significant number of Yadav voters.
Many types of people will be seen at Tej Pratap’s residence. There is always a group of his friends and he handles his politics. Some people also appeared in the monk’s dress and dress.
What else does Tej Pratap like other than politics?
He says, “I feel very much in spirituality. We keep going to Vrindavan, Mathura and historical places.”
Tej Pratap’s favorite film is Prakash Jha’s Politics. However, he did not say which character he played in the politics film himself.
There is also an image of Tej Pratap among the people that he speaks something that the party is likely to harm. Regarding Raghuvansh Prasad Singh’s displeasure, Tej Pratap once said that a lot of water coming out of the sea has no effect. Tej Pratap’s statement meant that he called his party and family a sea, while Raghuvansh Singh was given a lot of water.
Some of the kitchen staff at the hotel where I am staying said, “Sir, Tej Pratap should not have said that. Raghuvansh Babu remained Laluji’s faithful till his death. If you say this about them, whom will you adopt? ”
Tej Pratap likes the Mahabharata and considers himself to be the character of Krishna. Arjun tells Tejaswi. But the problem is that the self-proclaimed Krishna and Arjuna are nothing more than an error.
Tej Pratap laughed after the interview and said- ‘I was thinking that he will trap us. We were trapped
