Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son and Bihar health minister Tej Pratap Yadav lost his cool and was seen threatening a journalist at his party’s 20th foundation day event on Tuesday.

According to reports, Tej Pratap borrowed a journalist’s camera and started clicking pictures at the event when another journalist recorded a video of that on his cell phone. Enraged, Tej Pratap asked the journalist to delete the video but the latter declined. The RJD leader subsequently took the microphone and threatened to file a defamation case against the journalist.

At the same time, the video shows party supremo Lalu Yadav trying to pacify his son and control the situation.
