"Teju bhaiya ka bhoj superhit nahi hoga to kiska hoga": Tej Pratap Yadav reunites with estranged father Lalu Yadav in "dahi chuda" ceremony

Estranged RJD father-son duo Lalu Prasad and Tej Pratap Yadav reunite at a Makar Sankranti 'Dahi Chuda' event in Patna, sparking political buzz.

"If Teju Bhaiya's feast won't be a super duper hit, then whose will be... - Tej Pratap Yadav"

Patna, January 14

Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday reunited with his estranged son, Janshakti Janata Dal chief Tej Pratap Yadav, at the "Dahi Chuda" program at his residence in Patna.

Both were joined by several other prominent leaders, including Bihar governor Arif Mohammed Khan, Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, RLJP chief Pashupati Kumar Paras, Bihar Ministers, including Vijay Chaudhary, Sanjay Jha and others.

Speaking to the reporters, Tej Pratap said that a grand event related to "Dahi Chuda" was organised and he received the blessings of his father.

"If Teju Bhaiya's feast won't be a super duper hit, then whose will be... A grand feast of dahi-chuda was organized... Our parents are God to us, so we'll keep receiving their blessings... Everyone will come," Tej Pratap Yadav told reporters.

Meanwhile, RLJP chief Pashupati Kumar Paras said that new equations are formed on the occasion of Makar Sankranti and the family that was scattered will come together.

"January 14th is here, all the planets that were there have ended. From today, a new equation will be formed. Those who were scattered in the family will come together. A new turn will come in Bihar's politics," he told ANI.

Dahi Chura, also known as Doi Chire, is a traditional, no-cook, and healthy breakfast or snack widely consumed in Bihar and the eastern parts of India. It is prepared by mixing flattened rice (chura or poha) with fresh yoghurt (dahi) and sweetening it with jaggery or sugar, often complemented with fruits like bananas and nuts.

The dish is especially popular during festivals such as Makar Sankranti, where it is offered to the Sun God as a symbol of gratitude, prosperity, and good fortune.

Light and easily digestible, Dahi Chura is considered a sattvic meal rich in nutrients and protein. It is typically made by gently washing the flattened rice, mixing it with smoothened yoghurt and a sweetener, and topping it with fruits or nuts before serving. While the sweet version is most common, some also enjoy savoury variations with onions, mild spices, or mustard oil.

The article spent more time explaining Dahi Chura than the political implications! While the food culture is fascinating, I wish there was more analysis on what this "new equation" in Bihar politics actually means for governance.

"Teju Bhaiya's feast" 😄 Typical political drama wrapped in a traditional ceremony. Let's see if this reunion lasts beyond the festival season or if it's just for the cameras. Dahi-chuda is delicious though, can't argue with that!

As a Bihari, Makar Sankranti and Dahi Chura are close to my heart. It's a beautiful tradition. If a political family's reconciliation happens over this, maybe some good vibes will spread. But ultimately, we need development, not just symbolism.

Interesting cultural insight. The blending of family politics with religious festival rituals seems uniquely Indian. The governor and deputy CM attending shows this is more than a private family meal.

Respectfully, while family unity is good, the public is tired of political families treating the state as their personal fiefdom. We need leaders focused on issues like jobs, education, and healthcare, not on whose "bhoj" is a superhit.
