Tej Pratap Yadav announces the party symbol, marks the political escape of RJD

An important political development took place in Bihar, while the leader of the RJD and the eldest son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, officially revealed the electoral symbol of his party – the blackboard. His political outfit, the Janans Janata Dal, was officially recognized in August, marking Tej Pratap’s decision to an independent political path.

Known for a long time for its controversial declarations and different political positions, Tej Pratap’s decision to connect signals a new daring chapter in his career. Declaring his intention to become the “real voice of the people”, he declared that his party would focus on the rights of young people, farmers and disadvantaged.

In an article on X (formerly Twitter), Tej Pratap wrote: “We are fully dedicated and ready for the overall development of the Bihar. Our goal is to cause a complete transformation and build a new system. We are ready to fight a long battle for Bihar’s progress.”

हमलोग बिहार के संपूर्ण विकास के पूर्ण रूप रूप और तत्पर तत्पर हैं। हमारा मकसद बिहार में संपूर्ण बदलाव एक एक नई का नव निर्माण है। है।

हमलोग बिहार के संपूर्ण विकास लिए लंबी लड़ाई को तैयार हैं। हैं।#Tejpratapyadav #janshaktijantadal #biharelection pic.twitter.com/gxsqhw0wq

A direct challenge to Tejashwi Yadav?

Political observers see this decision as a direct challenge to his young brother Tejashwi Yadav, currently the most important face of the Bihar opposition. The announcement aroused tensions within the RJD and the Yadav family, raising questions about the party unity before the next elections.

Now, all eyes are on the traction that the Janshakti Janata Dal wins among the electorate and the impact that the political bet of Tej Pratap will have on the evolutionary political landscape of Bihar.
