Janshakti Janata Dal chief Tej Pratap Yadav met Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, fueling speculation about potential political realignments. Yadav invited Sinha to his party's Makar Sankranti feast, exchanging contact information. This interaction, occurring after Yadav's perceived sidelining within the RJD and his family, is seen as an effort to build his independent political base and potentially position himself as a unifying figure across party lines.
