After the unsuccessful attempts of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to come to power, now questions are being raised about the political future of Tej Pratap Yadav, the eldest and ousted son of Lalu Yadav family. So to speak, he has formed a new political party named 'Jan Shakti Janata Dal' but people often raised questions on his political seriousness.
Bihar could neither save its seat nor its candidates in the elections. Tej Pratap always remains in the news even after losing. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the statement of 'mindless Naxal' from the ramparts of the Red Fort, Tej Pratap got enraged and started saying that there are mentally insane and Naxal people in BJP too. His statements remain in the news but this time he is in the news for different reasons.

There, candidates of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and RJD were ahead. Politics flopped but the yellow cap on the head and Janashakti Janata Dal keep shining in the background of the house.
