Tej Pratap Yadav floats new outfit 'Jan Shakti Janata Dal' ahead of Bihar polls

Patna: RJD president Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, who was recently expelled from the party, on Friday announced that he has floated a new outfit for "a long battle" in Bihar.

The former state minister shared on X a poster of the ‘Jan Shakti Janata Dal’, with himself as the "national president" and a "blackboard" as its poll symbol.

हमलोग बिहार के संपूर्ण विकास के लिए पूर्ण रूप से समर्पित और तत्पर हैं। हमारा मकसद बिहार में संपूर्ण बदलाव कर एक नई व्यवस्था का नव निर्माण करना है।

हमलोग बिहार के संपूर्ण विकास के लिए लंबी लड़ाई लड़ने को तैयार हैं।#tejpratapyadav#janshaktijantadal#biharelectionpic.twitter.com/GxsQHw0WqQ

Sources in the Election Commission here, however, said they were so far not aware of the party getting registered and allotted a symbol.

In August, Yadav had claimed that a coalition of five little-known parties has come into being under his leadership.

Assembly polls in Bihar are due later this year.
