Support for Giriraj Singh's Statement
Tej Pratap Yadav supported the recent statement by Union Minister Giriraj Singh, saying that he had spoken absolutely correctly.

Comments on Chandan Tilak
Tej Pratap Yadav also questioned the religious identity of Congress leaders. He said that Congress leaders never wear a sandalwood tilak on their foreheads. He said that this is a part of Indian culture and leaders should adopt it.
He said that applying a tilak is not hurting any religion, but it is a symbol of our tradition and faith. Tej Pratap Yadav also added that showing faith does not make anyone smaller or bigger, but strengthens connection with the public.
Respect for All Religions
However, amidst his b statements, Tej Pratap Yadav also showed balance. He clearly said that he respects all religions and communities. He said that Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians are all brothers and the country's unity lies in this diversity.

Strong Opposition to Comments on Women
Tej Pratap Yadav also took a b stance regarding the comments made by Giridhari Lal Sahu, the husband of a minister in Uttarakhand, about women in Bihar. He termed this statement as highly objectionable and said that such language cannot be tolerated.
Tej Pratap Yadav demanded strict action against Giridhari Lal Sahu. He said that disrespecting the women of Bihar is an insult to the entire state and will not be accepted at any cost.
Apology Deemed Insufficient
Tej Pratap Yadav clearly said that simply apologizing is not enough in this matter. He questioned who the apology was being offered to. He said, have the daughters of Bihar forgiven him?
He insisted that if a genuine apology is to be offered, Giridhari Lal Sahu should come to Bihar and apologize publicly. Tej Pratap Yadav said that words are less important than punishing the guilty for their actions, so that no one dares to use such language in the future.
