LS polls: Akhilesh Yadav’s nephew Tej Pratap to contest from Kannauj
Tej Pratap , a former MP from Mainpuri and nephew of Akhilesh Yadav, is also the son-in -law of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. He is married to Lalu's daughter Raj Laxmi Yadav.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son Tej Pratap Yadav for allegedly acquiring a petrol pump by misrepresenting land-ownership deals.
He was asked to reply to the notice within 15 days.
According to reports, the notice was sent as per the allegations made by senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, accusing Tej Pratap of illegally acquiring a BPCL petrol pump in Patna in 2011 by furnishing false documents.

“In 2011, the land belonged to AK Infosystems Private Limited, and was leased to Lalu’s younger son, Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav in 2012,” Modi said.
“In 2014, Tejashwi claimed to be the owner of A K Infosystems. But, at no time was the land leased or registered in either Tej Pratap’s or Tejashwi’s name,” the BJP leader had alleged.
“But, how can Tej Pratap be allotted a petrol pump when he had neither land nor the lease of the land in his name?” he said.
