PATNA/UJJAIN: The much-talked-about dispute involving former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav and Anushka Yadav has once again come into the limelight. This time, the reason is the Annaprashan (first solid food ceremony) of Anushka's daughter, Ujjaini, which recently took place at the Baba Mahakal Temple in Ujjain. Ujjaini's maternal uncle and Anushka's brother, Akash Yadav, shared pictures of the ceremony on social media to mark the child's completion of six months, reigniting discussions about the controversy.

While people extended their good wishes to the child after the pictures surfaced, the dispute linked to Tej Pratap Yadav had previously garnered significant political attention. This incident also led to increased distance between Tej Pratap and the Lalu family, as well as the RJD party. The Annaprashan ceremony was performed with religious rituals in the presence of family members at the Baba Mahakal Temple in Ujjain. Akash Yadav posted the pictures on social media, praying for Ujjaini's happy life and protection from all negative energies.

The discussions identifying Tej Pratap Yadav as the child's father began after the daughter's birth in February 2026. However, Tej Pratap had vehemently denied these claims, calling them a conspiracy to tarnish his image and asserting that another person was the child's father. Following this, Akash Yadav filed a complaint in a Patna court, accusing Tej Pratap of trespassing and issuing threats. The family also sought security after receiving a threatening call from abroad. Tej Pratap Yadav dismissed the allegations against him as false, counter-accusing them of blackmail and demanding money.

The controversy, which began in May 2025 after a joint photo went viral on social media, dragged on for a long time. After this entire sequence of events and the social media virality, Lalu Prasad Yadav publicly announced Tej Pratap Yadav's separation from both the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the family. Currently, the matter is pending in court, and with Ujjaini's Annaprashan ceremony, the dispute has once again become a topic of discussion.
