Patna: A late-night meeting between Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and national president of Jan Janata Dal (JJD), and political strategist Prashant Kishor has triggered fresh speculation in Bihar’s political circles over possible realignments ahead of key electoral developments.
The two met on Tuesday night, with Tej Pratap later sharing a video of the interaction on his X (formerly Twitter) account, describing the discussion as “politically significant” and “extremely special”.

In his post, Tej Pratap said the meeting involved “in-depth discussion regarding public interest and the future of politics”, adding that they spoke at length about public expectations and evolving political equations. He also emphasised that the interaction was “not merely formal”, suggesting it went beyond a courtesy meeting.
“Today has been a politically significant day,” he wrote, framing the conversation as a “pivotal experience” in his political journey that strengthened his commitment to public service.
Notably, in the same post, Tej Pratap tagged several prominent political figures, including his younger brother and Leader of Opposition in Bihar Tejashwi Yadav, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and Bihar chief minister Samrat Choudhary.
The tagging of rival and allied leaders, coupled with the unusually explicit description of the meeting, has fuelled speculation in Bihar’s political circles about whether new alignments or understandings may be taking shape.
Such meetings are often routine in Bihar’s fluid political landscape, but public declarations suggesting substantive political discussion are less common. Tej Pratap’s post has therefore drawn attention, with observers interpreting it as an attempt to signal political intent beyond a routine exchange.
Neither Kishor nor the other leaders tagged in the post have commented publicly on the meeting so far.
