In July this year, the former Bihar minister was seen in the costume of Lord Shiva at a temple in Patna.
Tej Pratap, who is believed to be upset about playing second fiddle to his younger and politically sharper brother Tejashwi Yadav, has posted photos wearing different costumes in the past. He also appeared in posters in various "avatars" when hemarried Aishwarya Roy, the daughter of an RJD leader, in a Bollywood-style event in April.
