“Dance or Get Suspended” – Tej Pratap’s Viral Video Sparks Outrage

Patna, March 16, 2025 – A video of RJD MLA Tej Pratap Yadav allegedly forcing his police bodyguard to dance during Holi celebrations has triggered widespread outrage in Bihar politics.

The viral clip shows Yadav telling Constable Deepak Kumar, “Ae sipahi, Deepak, ek gaana bajayenge uspe tumko thumka lagana hai. Bura mat mano Holi hai. Aaj nahi thumka lagaoge toh suspend kar diye jaoge” (Hey constable, Deepak, we will play a song, and you have to dance. Don’t mind, it’s Holi. If you don’t dance today, you will be suspended).

Following this, the uniformed policeman was seen reluctantly dancing, raising concerns about the dignity of law enforcement under political pressure.

Public Backlash and Political Reactions

The incident went viral and people are criticizing Tej Pratap for treating a serious issue as a joke. Opposition leaders, especially from the BJP, have slammed the MLA for humiliating a policeman, arguing that this reflects the governance style of the RJD. They claim that such incidents remind people of the “Jungle Raj” days.

Retired police officials have also spoken out, calling it an insult to the uniform. Former Delhi ACP Ajay Kumar Singh criticized this and said “The uniform has dignity, and we have a code of conduct. Tej Pratap is behaving like an imposter; saying such things to your own security is an insult to the police”.

Tej Pratap Yadav’s Response: No Apology

Despite the backlash, Tej Pratap Yadav has not issued an apology or acknowledged any wrongdoing. Instead, he brushed off the criticism, claiming that the incident is being exaggerated. His response has only fueled more outrage, as many believe that undermining the dignity of a policeman is not something to be taken lightly.

Reminders of ‘Jungle Raj’ and Its Implications

This incident has once again sparked a debate about Bihar politics and how the RJD governs. Many people feel that Tej Pratap Yadav’s actions are not surprising, as his family—especially Lalu Prasad Yadav—has a history of ignoring rules and misusing power.

This video is a reminder of how law enforcement in Bihar was once treated as a tool by political leaders, rather than as an independent body. With Bihar elections always around the corner, incidents like these make voters rethink their choices and the kind of governance they want for the state.

Bihar Police Takes Action

After public outrage, Bihar Police quickly took action. They removed Constable Deepak Kumar from Tej Pratap Yadav’s security team and sent him to another police unit. This step was taken to maintain discipline in the police force and to make it clear that officers in uniform should not be forced into political matters.

Conclusion

Tej Pratap Yadav’s incident has once again brought Bihar politics into the spotlight. While the RJD shamelessly calls it a harmless act, critics believe it shows how some politicians misuse their power. The quick action by Bihar Police shows they want to maintain discipline. As Bihar moves forward, such incidents remind voters to think carefully about their leaders and choose those who respect law and governance.
