Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav Welcomes 1st Child, Becomes Father To Baby Girl: 'God Sent Us A Gift'

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav welcomed his first child and shared the news on Twitter on Monday (March 27) along with a photo of him holding his newborn daughter in his arms. Along with the adorable photo, he wrote in Hindi, " God has sent us a gift in the form of a daughter."

The official Twitter account of the Rashtriya Janata Dal congratulated Yadav on the birth of his daughter. "The wish came true! Honorable Dy. CM Mr. @yadavtejashwi. Many congratulations from Bihar for getting a very dear-priceless responsibility in the form of daughter-in-law on auspicious occasions like Navratri and Chaiti Chhath! Even the one above cannot overcome the desires of a true heart!"

Tejashwi Yadav is married to Rajshri Yadav who was formerly known as Rachel Godinho. The two reportedly met in Delhi Public School in RK Puram in Delhi. Although Rashri is from Haryana, she was raised in Delhi. 

During an ED raid in a land-for-jobs scam, Rajshree Yadav, who was pregnant at the time, experienced physical discomfort, and the family claimed that ED officials made her sit in one place for 15 hours despite her pregnancy and high blood pressure. As a result of the ordeal, she was admitted to a hospital.
