Tejashwi Yadav Became Father: Baby Boy Brings Double Joy to the Family

Tejashwi Yadav Became Father: Bihar’s prominent political figure and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has become a father for the second time. This is not a political statement or election campaign but a very personal and heartwarming news that has filled not only the Yadav family but the entire Bihar with joy.
Tejashwi Yadav, the youngest son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, is now a proud father of two. While his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav often makes headlines due to controversial statements or personal life, Tejashwi has maintained a calm and composed image, balancing the family’s reputation. The news of Tejashwi becoming a father again has triggered a flood of congratulations across social media.
Tejashwi Shares News of Son’s Birth on Social Media
On May 27, 2025, Tejashwi Yadav’s wife, Rachel (also known as Rajshree in family circles), gave birth to a baby boy at a private hospital in Kolkata. In an emotional post, Tejashwi shared the news on social media with a picture, writing:
“Good Morning! The wait is finally over! So grateful, blessed and pleased to announce the arrival of our little boy. Jai Hanuman!”
The post garnered millions of views, shares, and congratulatory messages. When a political figure shares such personal joy, it resonates deeply with the public. This was evident as people hailed the newborn as “Bihar’s new prince.”
First Child, Daughter Katyayani; Now Welcoming a Son
In March 2023, Tejashwi and Rachel became parents for the first time with the birth of their daughter, Katyayani. The name, inspired by a form of Goddess Durga, reflected the family’s deep-rooted religious beliefs. Now, with the arrival of a son, Tejashwi’s small family feels “complete” and balanced, as many have noted.
Social media users wrote:
“The journey that began with a daughter has now reached a son. Tejashwi Bhaiya’s family is now complete!”
Rohini Acharya Congratulates Brother, Expresses Joy in Emotional Words
Lalu Yadav’s eldest daughter, Rohini Acharya, who resides in Singapore and frequently supports Tejashwi on social media, showered her younger brother with love and blessings. She wrote:
“Congratulations to the proud parents and grandparents, and to proud sister Katyayani. Lots of love and blessings to our Junior Tootie.”
She added, “Just as Lord Krishna was born in Mathura’s prison and brought joy to his family, this child will shower happiness on the Yadav family.”
Smiles Return to Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi’s Faces
Lalu Prasad Yadav has been battling health issues for the past few months. However, the news of Tejashwi becoming a father again brought a smile to his face. The arrival of a new life in the family often eases pain, even if temporarily. Reports suggest Rabri Devi is preparing to travel to Kolkata to meet her grandson.
Relief Amid Tej Pratap’s Controversies
Tejashwi’s elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, has been in the news due to controversies surrounding his marriage, divorce, and alleged relationships. These incidents have somewhat tarnished the family’s image. In this context, Tejashwi’s calm handling of his personal life and the joyous news of becoming a father have sparked hope among supporters.
Political analysts noted:
“The arrival of a new life can mend familial bonds. This child might just unite the Yadav family again.”
Celebrations Among RJD Workers
As soon as the news broke, RJD workers erupted in joy. From Patna to Purnea and Darbhanga to Chhapra, sweets were distributed, and posters were put up with messages like:
“A new joy has arrived at Chhote Lala’s home; Bihar will now echo with celebrations!”
One party worker said:
“Tejashwi Bhaiya is not just our leader; he’s like family. His joy feels like our own.”
Political Rivals Extend Congratulations
Despite political rivalries, personal milestones often transcend differences. Leaders like Nitish Kumar, Sushil Modi, Priyanka Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, and even several BJP leaders congratulated Tejashwi, proving that human connections rise above politics.
#BabyYadav Trends on Social Media
Within hours of Tejashwi’s post, #BabyYadav began trending on X (formerly Twitter). The platform was flooded with thousands of tweets, memes, and well-wishes. Some users humorously remarked:
“Bihar’s next leader has arrived, currently in diapers!”
Others dubbed Tejashwi the “Bapu of the next generation.”
Will the Son’s Name Spark Political Speculation?
When Tejashwi named his daughter Katyayani, it was interpreted as a nod to religious and cultural significance. Now, curiosity surrounds the name of his newborn son. Will it also draw inspiration from a religious or historical figure? In politics, names often carry symbolic weight, and RJD supporters are eager to find out.
Tejashwi Yadav: From Leader to Father
In Bihar’s political corridors, Tejashwi is known as a dynamic and grounded leader. He led RJD to become the largest party in the 2020 assembly elections. However, as a father, he is now seen as an emotional and responsible family man. His wife, Rachel (Rajshree), maintains a low profile but exudes simplicity and grace whenever she appears on social media.
This joyous milestone has added a new dimension to Tejashwi Yadav’s public persona, blending his political prowess with his personal warmth.
