Estranged Yadav brothers Tej Pratap and Tejashwi crossed paths at Patna airport on Wednesday, November 5, 2025—captured in a viral video that's exploding on social media. The once-close siblings, now fierce rivals, shared zero words in the awkward encounter, with Tej Pratap's stony stare stealing the show as Tejashwi breezed by with ally Mukesh Sahani. Filmed during a casual podcast chat by YouTuber Samdish, the clip highlights the deep family rift that's turned political battleground into personal battlefield.

The drama unfolded outside the airport where Tej Pratap, fresh off grilling reporters about his fixation on Tejashwi, ducked into a store to eye Nehru jackets. An aide whispered that his brother was approaching, and sure enough, Tejashwi—RJD's star campaigner and opposition's CM pick—strode past with VIP chief Sahani, the bloc's deputy CM hopeful. Spotting Samdish, Tejashwi flashed a wave and quipped, "Shopping kara rahe hain Bhaiya?" (Is Bhaiya treating you?). The YouTuber joked back about a gift, earning a lucky nod from Tejashwi before he shook hands and headed to a rally. Tej Pratap? He just watched silently, then vanished back into the store—later brushing off questions with a vague "He's doing fine."

This frosty reunion underscores a savage family feud that's electrified Bihar's polls. Tej Pratap, booted from RJD in May 2024 over a scandalous Facebook post claiming a 12-year romance with one Anushka Yadav (sparking divorce buzz from his 2018 marriage to Aishwarya Rai), formed his own Janshakti Janata Dal. He's fielding rebels in 22 seats, including family stronghold Raghopur where Tejashwi holds the RJD ticket. Lalu Yadav himself axed his elder son for six years, slamming his "irresponsible conduct" as a betrayal of family values and social justice. Tejashwi backed the boot, declaring some lines uncrossable. Now, Tej Pratap mocks his sibling as a "child" needing a rattle toy post-polls, vowing no mercy: "No brother, only enemy."

The viral video's timing couldn't be worse—or better—for Bihar's drama-soaked campaign, with Phase 1 voting just days away. Netizens are roasting Tej Pratap's "morose mug" and the brothers' silent standoff, turning it into meme gold while questioning if family feuds will fracture the Mahagathbandhan's unity against NDA. Tejashwi's job promises and Rahul Gandhi's rallies aim to rally youth, but this sibling sabotage could siphon votes in key spots.

Meanwhile, BJP's Kiren Rijiju piled on, blasting Rahul Gandhi for peddling "fake Haryana tales" while Bihar burns with real issues like unemployment and migration. "Youth are with Modi, not provocation," he sniped, reminding that exit polls often flop and BJP never cries foul like Congress. As the Yadavs' airport awkwardness loops endlessly online, it spotlights how personal vendettas could tip Bihar's scales—proving in politics, blood may be thicker than water, but grudges run deeper.
