Tej Pratap Yadav Reconnects with Family Ahead of Makar Sankranti Celebration

A Heartwarming Family Reunion

A touching moment unfolded at the residence of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi, located at 10 Circular Road, as Tej Pratap Yadav met with his parents and younger brother. This encounter hinted at a softening of family ties. The primary purpose of this visit was to formally invite Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, along with their parents, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, to the 'Dahi-Chura Bhoj' event scheduled for January 14 in celebration of Makar Sankranti.

Invitation Symbolizing Unity

Tej Pratap personally handed the invitation to his younger brother, which was widely interpreted as a gesture promoting brotherhood, reconciliation, and family unity. He shared on social media that he visited his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and mother, Rabri Devi, at their home to seek their blessings and also met with Tejashwi to extend the invitation for the upcoming 'historic Dahi-Chura Bhoj' event. Additionally, he cherished a delightful moment playing with his beloved niece, Katyayani.

A Significant Family Moment

Upon arrival, Tej Pratap first touched the feet of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi to receive their blessings. This meeting marked a rare occasion where Tej Pratap and Tejashwi were seen together in front of the media after months of maintaining distance and being apart. Amidst political symbolism, a deeply personal moment captured attention when Tej Pratap lifted Tejashwi's daughter and niece, Katyayani, into his arms.

A Memorable Experience

Tej Pratap later described this encounter as an extraordinary experience. Photos of him smiling with the little girl quickly went viral, showcasing that despite political differences and periods of separation, family bonds remain strong. Political analysts view this visit as a significant shift, especially after months of speculation regarding a 'cold war' between the two brothers.
