"Our respected public is bigger than any party. The party is the system, but the public is the master," Tej Pratap said. He, however, expressed his displeasure over Tejashwi's campaigning against him in the Mahua assembly constituency.

"If he has campaigned against me, I will also do the same thing in Raghopur assembly constituency from where he (Tejashwi) is seeking his reelection," he told the media.
