The political landscape in Bihar witnessed a shock wave as Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, announced her decision to quit politics and sever ties with her family. Her move came just a day after the RJD’s disappointing performance in the Bihar Assembly elections, deepening the cracks already visible within the Yadav family.
Rohini Acharya Quits Politics: What Triggered the Exit?
Rohini Acharya, who is often seen as a straightforward and emotional personality, revealed that she was stepping away from politics entirely. She claimed that Tejashwi Yadav’s close aide, Sanjay Yadav, along with an individual named Rameez, influenced her decision and held her responsible for the turmoil.
Posting on X, she wrote that she was “quitting politics and disowning her family,” a statement that instantly grabbed national attention. Rohini, a doctor by profession, contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Saran but lost to BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
Rohini Acharya and the Growing Rift with RJD’s Top Leadership
The friction didn’t emerge overnight. Months before the polls, Rohini unfollowed key RJD handles, including those of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Her cryptic posts hinted at simmering tension within the family. Much of the controversy revolved around her kidney donation to her father in 2022 and the allegations questioning her contribution.
Her dissatisfaction intensified when she indirectly criticized Sanjay Yadav for allegedly overstepping his role in the party, especially during the Bihar Adhikar Yatra. A photo of Sanjay sitting in the front of the RJD rally bus had particularly irked her.
The Family Feud: Tej Pratap Yadav, Anushka Controversy & Internal Politics
The situation worsened after Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled from the RJD following a personal scandal. His open support for Rohini and criticism of Sanjay Yadav added fuel to the fire. Rohini, already under pressure from trolls and internal backlash, felt cornered.
The BJP did not miss the opportunity to comment, stating that the Yadav family had sacrificed personal relationships for power. They highlighted how the daughter who donated a kidney was now being pushed out of the family and the party.
