RJD Turmoil Deepens: Rohini Acharya Cuts Ties With Party and Family
Lalu Prasad’s Daughter Rohini Resigns From Politics, Ends All Ties With Family: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has been thrown into turmoil following a dramatic announcement by Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya, who declared on social media platform X that she is quitting politics and severing all ties with both the party and her family. The post has triggered shockwaves among party workers and intensified the ongoing crisis within the Lalu family after the election defeat.
Rohini’s blunt declaration—“I am leaving politics. I am severing ties with my family. Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked me to do this. I am taking all the blame on myself”—has fueled speculation about deep-rooted tensions inside the RJD’s top leadership.
Rohini’s message explicitly mentioned Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Sultan, two of Tejashwi Yadav’s most trusted aides. * Sanjay Yadav, currently a Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar, is considered Tejashwi Yadav’s closest advisor and a powerful strategist within the party.
Rameez Sultan, also part of Tejashwi’s inner circle, works in his Personal Secretariat (PSD). He is known to have played a key role in election strategy, minority outreach, and the Bihar Adhikar Yatra. Son-in-law of a former Samajwadi Party MP, Rameez has long been seen alongside Tejashwi in political and personal settings, including cricket matches and campaign tours.
Sources indicate that Rohini was held partly responsible for the party’s poor performance, allegedly because public family disputes created a negative impact during the campaign. Following a controversy, Rohini left for Singapore but was later brought back for limited campaigning—restricted only to Raghopur. She had reportedly sought to campaign in various seats in Chapra but was denied permission.
Tensions escalated when Rohini wished Tejashwi good luck on counting day, but he did not respond. Insiders claim that Sanjay Yadav viewed Rohini as a potential threat to Tejashwi’s political standing, further straining relationships within the family.
As of now, no other member of the Lalu family has commented publicly on Rohini’s exit, but her explosive statement has pushed the already fractured RJD into deeper uncertainty.
