Tej Pratap Yadav pursues commercial pilot career
Tej Pratap Yadav, former Bihar minister and son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, has just cleared the interview and document checks for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) course.
Ranking fifth out of 18 selected candidates, he's now on track to start formal pilot training—a big shift from his usual political path.
Yadav's political background and recent family rift
Yadav kicked off his political career in 2015, serving as an MLA and even holding a cabinet post.
Things took a turn recently when he was expelled from the RJD and distanced by his family over "irresponsible behavior."
Still, he's been open about wanting to serve India in new ways—sharing that he trained as a pilot before.
