Almost a month back, sidelined in the RJD, founded and headed by his father Lalu Prasad, elder son Tej Pratap Yadav had floated a new students' body with the ostensible aim of strengthening the parent organisation.
The Congress has fielded candidates for the upcoming bypolls to Kusheshwar Asthan and Tarapur seats in Bihar after the RJD refused to withdraw its candidates.
Speaking at a function organized by the Chhatra Janshakti Parishad, he said, "Despite getting bail months ago, my father is being held hostage in Delhi."
Tejashwi Yadav has written a letter to 33 non-BJP senior leaders, seeking demand of caste-based census. He said that the centre isn't in favour of caste census.
A Patna court has directed the police to lodge an FIR against RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti.
Tej alleged that Asish Ranjan, a marketing head of his L-R (Lalu-Rabri) Radha Krishna incense sticks company has taken away Rs 71,650.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the BJP is only trying to prove its 'appeasement politics' by sending out such comments.
Chirag met Tejashwi to invite him for an event on September 12 to mark the first death anniversary of his father and former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. Chirag Paswan has also called Tejashwi Yadav his 'younger brother' on several occasions.
"Nitish Kumar and BJP fraudulently formed the government by using the government machinery. It was a loot of mandate that people of Bihar gave to us," Tejashwi Yadav said.
Tej Pratap Yadav has floated a new student organisation Chhatra Janshakti Parishad.
Recently, there were reports of altercations between Tej Pratap and his brother Tejashwi Yadav over sacking of Akash Yadav as RJD youth wing's state chief a couple of days ago.
Tejashwi Yadav went to Delhi to discuss party matters with national president Lalu Prasad and the ongoing turmoil in the RJD, which started after a series of statements by Tej Pratap Yadav against the party's state president Jagadanand Singh.
Earlier on Friday, Tej Pratap Yadav came to meet Tejashwi at 10 Circular Road residence. He alleged that he was not allowed to speak with his brother and party leader Tejashwi Yadav by Sanjay Yadav.
Sources said that Tej Pratap Yadav, who came with the demand for taking action against RJD state chief Jagadanand Singh who had sacked Akash Yadav as RJD youth wing's state chief a couple of days ago, reportedly used harsh words with his younger brother.
Jagadanand on Thursday said that Tej Pratap does not hold any role in the party organisation and hence holds no importance.
Reacting on the reports of friction in Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party, Tejashwi Yadav on August 19 assured that everything will be fine. He further said that everything will be fixed.
Tej Pratap Yadav has openly mocked his younger brother and former Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav's political advisor Sanjay Yadav, without taking his name, and described him as a migrant advisor.
Akash Yadav, who is considered to be close to Tej Pratap, was replaced by Gagan Kumar as RJD's students' wing head prompting angry reaction from Lalu's elder son.
The development has reportedly irked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Nitish, however, has refrained to blame any of his leaders for 'error'.
Tejashwi, the youngest son of Lalu, happens to be the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. But his photo was missing from the RJD student's wing event where Tej Pratap was the chief guest.
