Expelled from the RJD earlier this year by his father, Tej Pratap launched his own political outfit, Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD). He is contesting in Mahua constituency under his new party's banner. Yadav emphasized principles and self-respect over power and expressed opposition to the BJP-RSS combine. He also dismissed challenges from sitting RJD MLA Mukesh Raushan and comments from his younger brother Tejashwi, who has been declared INDIA bloc’s chief ministerial candidate for Bihar.
