Reacting to the incident, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said in a video, "Like father, like son. First, the father - as the then CM used to make law dance to his tunes and turn Bihar into a jungle raj. Now, the son, despite being out of power, attempts to make laws and protectors of law dance to his tunes through threats and pressure. He threatens Police personnel with suspension if he doesn't dance. This shows that RJD believes in jungle raj...If they come to power even by mistake, they would violate law and make protectors of law dance...This is a trailer. So, it is important to keep them away from power..."

Tej is the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. On Holi, he urged people to observe the festival peacefully.
