Digital Desk, Patna. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav is once again in the center of discussion. But this time the reason is not any political statement or party strategy. This time he is seen in the form of a saint. Rudraksh rosary in hand, red clothes on body and 'Har-Har Mahadev' on the tongue. His style is becoming increasingly viral on social media. New account with the name 'Sant Tej Pratap', message of devotion to Shiva every day. A new social media account with the name 'Sant Tej Pratap Yadav' is active from 15th February.
Five videos have been posted so far. In every video he is seen talking about Shiva devotion and worship method. He is advising the devotees to take bath in the morning and worship with a calm mind.
Describing the glory of offering Belpatra, he himself also talks about doing puja daily. They are also promising to post a new video every day.
Rudraksh, Lal Chola and proclamation of 'Har Har Mahadev'
In the new video, Tej Pratap is seen sitting in the posture of a saint. While twirling the Rudraksh rosary in his hand, he is giving a message to the devotees of Shiva. They say that worship Mahadev without hatred and jealousy.
They are also giving the message of love and brotherhood. This spiritual form of his is attracting supporters. At the same time, critics have found a new issue.
Shower of memes on social media, 'Bageshwar Baba 2' trend
As soon as the video surfaced, there was a flood of comments. One user wrote - 'Lord, what form will you take now?'
The other one taunted – 'Men, why leave this profession!' One jokingly asked – 'When are you getting the story of Lord Satnarayan organized?'
The most discussed comment was the one in which it was written - 'Baba Bageshwar 2.' This gesture is believed to be towards the narrator Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.
Love, conflict and now the path of retirement?
Tej Pratap's life has been in the headlines earlier also due to personal relationships and family conflicts. Discussions about his relationship with Anushka and family tensions were already prevalent on social media.
Sometimes emotional posts, sometimes political statements, sometimes different things. Now his sudden entry as a saint has shocked people. Some supporters are calling it spiritual awakening. So some are seeing it as a new political strategy.
Distance from politics or new strategy?
The question arises whether this spiritual stance is permanent? Or is this a new way to connect through social media? Tej Pratap has been seen in different styles earlier also.
Sometimes in the form of Krishna, sometimes a devotee of Shiva, and sometimes a supporter of the farmers' movement. His new 'Sanyasi avatar' is gathering both discussion and controversy. At present, it is certain that wherever Tej Pratap goes, he automatically makes headlines.
