PATNA: Ailing RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav , who has sought divorce from his wife Aishwarya Rai, continues to visit temples in the Mathura region amid relentless efforts by his family members to salvage his marriage.Tej’s mother-in-law Purnima Rai held an hour-long meeting with his mother Rabri Devi on Saturday. The effort, however, appeared to be unsuccessful as Purnima was seen crying while leaving Rabri’s 10, Circular Road bungalow, sources said.Meanwhile, RJD insiders said of late Tej is no longer belligerent on the divorce issue in the wake of Lalu’s deteriorating health condition. RJD MLA Bhola Yadav, a close aide of Lalu, told TOI on Sunday that the RJD chief is having difficulty in standing due to a knee infection. Doctors at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, where Lalu is undergoing treatment, said the former CM was also showing symptoms of depression owing to tension in family.RJD insiders said Rabri had a telephonic conversation with Tej on Friday evening for nearly half an hour. “Tej has been told that Laluji is disturbed by his action and this has led to deterioration in his health.As a result, Tej has calmed down in the last few days,” a senior RJD functionary told TOI requesting anonymity.On Sunday, Rabri left for Delhi, where she and her younger son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav are slated to appear before Patiala House court in connection with the IRCTC case. Sources said Tej might meet Rabri and Tejashwi in Delhi. “I am travelling right now and I can’t say anything about whom I am going to meet,” Tej told TOI on Sunday over phone.RJD sources said Tej has agreed to return home after Kartik Purnima (November 23) on two conditions: one, he shall not be pressured to unite with Aishwarya and second, Tejashwi’s aides Om Prakash, Mani Bhushan and Mani Yadav be kept out of RJD affairs. Om Prakash and Mani Bhushan are Tej’s cousins while Mani Yadav is Tejashwi’s personal secretary.However, the second demand would be more ticklish for the Lalu family because Mani Bhushan is considered close to Tejashwi.Besides, Tejashwi has refused to dump Mani Yadav as well despite charges of sexual offence against him, sources said.Tej is also miffed over frequent visits of Vipin - private secretary of Aishwarya’s father Chandrika Rai - to Rabri’s bungalow. “Vipin interferes in the family affairs. He had also heckled my friends after I left home. I want him to be removed from the bungalow,” Tej had said on November 9.Tej had filed a divorce petition in a family court at Patna on November 1. He had married Aishwarya on May 12.
