In a dramatic escalation of family and party tensions, Rohini Acharya, daughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav, has unleashed a scathing attack on her brother Tejashwi Yadav just hours before a crucial Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) national executive meeting in Patna. The timing couldn’t be more pointed, as the gathering is set to propose Tejashwi’s elevation to National Working President, a move that would solidify his leadership role.
Rohini’s explosive post on X (formerly Twitter) doesn’t name names, but the veiled accusations are unmistakable. She questions those responsible for the party’s ‘current sorry state’ and urges true ‘Laluwad’ loyalists—champions of Lalu’s legacy of fighting for the marginalized—to rise against infiltrators allegedly plotting to dismantle his ideology. ‘Anyone who truly embodies Laluwad will hold accountable those ruining the party,’ she declared, hinting at internal sabotage by ‘fascist agents’ who have seized control.
The post paints a grim picture: a party born to battle for the rights of the underprivileged now allegedly in the grip of saboteurs tasked with destroying Laluwad. Rohini demands introspection from current leaders, slamming their evasion of tough questions, spreading misinformation, and mistreating party well-wishers. Silence, she warns, equates to complicity in the conspiracy.
This outburst comes amid Bihar’s high political stakes post-assembly elections, where the Yadav family remains under intense scrutiny. Lalu’s clan has dominated headlines, with Rohini repeatedly voicing dissent. Today’s meeting, chaired by Lalu himself, will include MPs, MLAs, and state presidents. Though Tejashwi was already empowered alongside his father in the last executive, this new proposal underscores his rising prominence—and now, his sister’s sharp rebuke.
As RJD navigates internal rifts, Rohini’s words could deepen divisions or spark a much-needed reckoning. Will the meeting address these charges, or will the family feud overshadow party revival efforts? Bihar’s opposition politics hangs in the balance.
