Patna: Elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav has made big promises ahead of next month's Assembly elections in Bihar, saying that a cricket stadium will be built in Mahua and he will make sure an India–Pakistan match is played there. Tej Pratap also fired fresh statements on his younger brother and CM face for Mahagathbandhan, Tejashwi Yadav, saying he (Tejashwi) cannot be a Jannayak because he has reached here because of our father, adding that he (Tej) is no longer in the RJD and is neither greedy for any post. Even if he is offered anything in the RJD, he will reject it and never enter into any alliance with anyone, Tej Pratap Yadav added. "... A cricket stadium will also be built in Mahua, and I will make sure an India vs Pakistan match is played. I have no competition in Mahua... JP Lohia, Karpuri Thakur, and Lalu Prasad Yadav, among other senior leaders, are 'Jannayak'. Tejashwi cannot be a Jannayak because he has reached here because of my father... I am no longer in the lantern (RJD)... I am not greedy for any post. If I am offered anything in the RJD, I will reject it. I will never form an alliance with anyone...," said Tej Pratap Yadav. Tej Pratap Yadav has mentioned an India–Pakistan match even after knowing that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended all bilateral cricket with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s counter-terror Operation Sindoor, launched to avenge the killing of 26 innocent civilians who were shot dead in front of their families in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in April this year. BCCI’s policy of not playing bilateral cricket with Pakistan aligns with the government’s stand that sports and terror cannot go together.
