Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and his wife, Rajshree Yadav, announced the joyous arrival of their second child, a baby boy, on Tuesday, May 27. The birth took place in a Kolkata hospital, with family members reportedly present.
Joyful Arrival: Tejashwi and Rajshree Yadav Welcome Son
Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav and his wife, Rajshree Yadav (formerly Rachel Godinho), are celebrating the birth of their son. The couple welcomed their second child on Tuesday, May 27.
What Happened
The happy news was shared by Tejashwi Yadav himself through a social media post early on Tuesday. He expressed his gratitude and happiness at the arrival of their “little boy.” The baby was born in a hospital in Kolkata. RJD patriarch and Tejashwi’s father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, also reportedly accompanied his son and daughter-in-law to the hospital, sharing in the family’s joy.
A Growing Family
This is the second child for Tejashwi and Rajshree. Their first child, a daughter named Katyayini, was born in March 2023. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2021. Rajshree, who was Tejashwi’s schoolmate from DPS RK Puram, hails from Rewari in Haryana and adopted the name Rajshree Yadav after her marriage. Tejashwi Yadav has, in the past, referred to his inter-faith marriage as being in line with his party’s philosophy of reaching out to “people of all communities.”
Official Announcement
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news, Tejashwi Yadav wrote: “Good Morning! The wait is finally over! So grateful, blessed and pleased to announce the arrival of our little boy. Jai Hanuman!”
Broader Family Context
The arrival of the new baby brings happiness to the Yadav family. This development occurs while there have been reports of internal family tensions concerning Tejashwi’s elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav. Recently, reports suggested that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav had expelled Tej Pratap from the party and family following a social media post by Tej Pratap about a long-standing relationship. Tej Pratap later claimed his account was hacked and the photo was edited. Lalu Prasad Yadav reportedly termed his elder son’s actions “irresponsible.”
Additionally, Tej Pratap Yadav’s divorce petition with his estranged wife, Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Prasad Rai, remains pending in a Patna family court. They married in May 2018, but Aishwarya Rai left the Yadav household a few months later, alleging harassment.
What Happens Next
The family will likely be spending private time with the newborn. Supporters and well-wishers have been extending their congratulations to Tejashwi Yadav and his family on social media. Details regarding the baby’s name are awaited.
