- On May 25, 2025, Lalu Prasad Yadav, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, announced a six-year suspension of his eldest son, Tej Pratap Yadav, who serves as the MLA for Hasanpur, effectively severing his association with the party.

- Tej Pratap is a former Bihar state minister and two-term MLA, known for controversial statements and strained relations with his father and younger brother Tejashwi Yadav, the party's projected leader.
