Former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav, whose recent Facebook post about a long-standing relationship with Anushka Yadav sparked a political storm in Bihar and led to his expulsion from the party just ahead of the state elections, has now found himself embroiled in fresh controversy.
Many have questioned whether Tej Pratap was actually in the Maldives with Anushka Yadav, as claimed. Alleged chats circulating online suggest he may have been accompanied by another woman instead.
Some users on X alleged that it was another woman named Nishu Sinha, and not Anushka, who had accompanied Tej Pratap to the Maldives. They claimed the scandal broke after chats between the two were leaked. News18 has not independently verified the authenticity of these chats. Tej Pratap has dismissed the entire episode as a political conspiracy.
Adding fuel to the fire, BJP OBC Morcha National General Secretary Nikhil Anand shared screenshots of purported Facebook Messenger conversations on X. He alleged that the leak hints at something more serious and claimed that Tejashwi Yadav may have orchestrated and funded the Maldives trip.
पता नहीं यह फेसबुक मैसेंजर चैट कहां से, किसने और कैसे पब्लिक डोमेन में भेजा है या लीक किया है। लेकिन यह तेज प्रताप की आधिकारिक पत्नी ऐश्वर्या राय के अलावा, दो प्रेमिकाओं के बीच की बातचीत प्रतीत होती है।इसका मतलब तो मामला और भी संगीन व गंभीर है। इससे तो लगता है कि तेजस्वी यादव… https://t.co/GFWIg1p6uj pic.twitter.com/viiEgkHyah

Anand further alleged that the entire Yadav family was aware of the situation and that Tej Pratap’s expulsion was part of a pre-planned political strategy by Lalu Prasad Yadav. He also raised questions about the safety of Anushka Yadav, claiming that had the matter not become public, her life might have been in danger. He called for a probe into the origin of the leaked chats.
Anand accused Tej Pratap of deceiving both his former wife Aishwarya Rai and Anushka Yadav, and questioned whether he was misleading the women involved or the Yadav community itself.
Media reports suggest that Anushka Yadav hails from Langartoli in Patna, and her brother, Akash Yadav, previously led the RJD’s student wing. Tensions reportedly arose between Tej Pratap and the party leadership after Akash was replaced by Gagan Yadav, a close aide of Tejashwi Yadav.
