NEW DELHI: Janshakti Janta Dal Chief Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday said that his security has been strengthened following a threat to his life.“My security has been increased because there is a threat to my life,” Yadav told reporters in Patna. He added in Hindi, “Humare upar khatra hain naa isiliye badhayi hai,” when asked about the reason behind the heightened security cover.
Responding to a reporter’s question, the details of which were not clearly audible, Yadav said, “Aap log toh ghoom firr k humare hi peeche pade rehte hain.”Officials have not yet commented on the nature of the threat or whether any formal complaint has been lodged. However, sources indicated that the security enhancement was based on inputs from local intelligence units.He, however, did not divulge the identities of his enemies.Yadav also congratulated his younger brother Tejashwi on his birthday and said, "My blessings are always with him. He should continue to grow further".Tej Pratap was expelled from the RJD on May 25 for six years, a day after he reportedly confessed to being 'in a relationship' with a woman.He, however, deleted the social media post later with a claim that his page was "hacked".
Lalu Prasad also disowned Tej Pratap due to his "irresponsible behaviour".A few days later, after his expulsion from the party, Tej Pratap had alleged that there was a "conspiracy" to drive a wedge between him and his younger brother.He had voiced his sentiments in a couple of posts on his X handle, blaming the crisis on 'Jaichand', a metaphor for traitors. |
