Day of Dahi-Chura, Night of Fireworks: Tej Pratap Yadav Celebrates Grand Political Gathering in Patna

Patna, Bihar:
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav added fresh heat to the state’s political climate on Wednesday as his much-discussed dahi-chura feast turned into a major political show of strength. Leaders cutting across party lines—including Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha—attended the event, making it one of the most politically symbolic gatherings in recent times.

Buoyed by the success of the event, Tej Pratap capped the day with a grand fireworks display, celebrating what he described as a politically significant and personally satisfying moment.

A Feast That Drew Power from Both Sides

Tej Pratap had personally invited a wide spectrum of political heavyweights, from the Chief Minister and Governor to ministers, party leaders, and family members. The effort paid off handsomely.

The evening gained momentum when Lalu Prasad Yadav arrived first, followed shortly by Governor Arif Mohammad Khan. The sight of the two leaders seated together, sharing dahi-chura and tilkut while engaging in a long informal conversation, became the highlight of the event and set tongues wagging in political circles.

Adding to the intrigue was the presence of Sadhu Yadav, Tej Pratap’s maternal uncle, whose appearance after a long gap sparked discussions both within the family and across political corridors.

NDA Ministers Mark Presence, Speculation Grows

What further amplified the political buzz was the participation of Deputy CM Vijay Sinha and senior minister Ashok Choudhary, along with several other NDA leaders. Their cordial interactions with Tej Pratap raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.

Former Union Minister Pashupati Paras added to the suspense with a cryptic remark, saying, “From today, the planets are changing, and a new political equation will take shape.” His statement triggered intense speculation about emerging alliances in Bihar politics.

Fireworks After a ‘Successful’ Show

As the guests departed and the event concluded without incident, Tej Pratap Yadav celebrated the occasion with fireworks outside his residence, accompanied by members of his core team. Sitting back and enjoying the spectacle, he also had the moment recorded on video.

For Tej Pratap—still navigating political challenges after his recent electoral defeat—the event appeared to mark a symbolic resurgence. Supporters gathered in large numbers outside the venue, while media presence remained heavy throughout the evening, underlining his continued relevance in Bihar’s political discourse.

Whether the spectacle translates into tangible political gains remains to be seen, but for now, Tej Pratap Yadav has succeeded in commanding attention—both by day with tradition and by night with celebration.
