Overview
- At a Patna press conference on Sunday, Tej Pratap Yadav rejected social‑media posts claiming he was "blessed with a daughter" named Anushka Yadav.
- He accused five RJD figures—MP Sanjay Yadav, MLC Sunil Singh, former MLAs Shakti Singh Yadav and Mukesh Raushan, and Rameez—of conspiring against him, calling them 'Jaichands'.
- He said he will pursue defamation cases in court and has sought an appointment with Home Minister Samrat Choudhary.
- He maintained that an earlier Facebook post linking him to the woman was the result of a hacked account, a controversy that he said preceded his expulsion from RJD and his failed bid with the Janshakti Janata Dal.
- News reports noted no on‑record responses from those he named, and Yadav said he learned of the rumor after hearing that Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi had congratulated him.
