Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya’s displeasure has become a big challenge for the party. Rohini expressed displeasure on social media, unfollowed family and party accounts and returned to Singapore.
Prior to Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, the internal discord of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has created a stir in the political corridors. The displeasure of Tej Pratap Yadav and Rohini Acharya indicated that the Lalu family has deepened only political but also family tension. After Tej Pratap Yadav, now Rohini’s displeasure has become a big challenge for the party.
Bus ‘front seat’ and Sanjay Yadav
The case began with Tejashwi Yadav’s chief advisor Sanjay Yadav sitting on the front seat. Rohini felt how someone else could replace her father and brother. This minor thing became the center of increasing differences between Tejashwi and Rohini. Tejashwi conveyed his complaint to Lalu Yadav, but this time Lalu started convincing Rohini instead of his big decision, which hurt the daughter.
Father and daughter conflict
There was a mild debate in Lalu -Rohini’s meeting. Rohini tried to convince her father with tears, but Lalu Yadav’s political outlook and strategy to carry forward Tejashwi was not acceptable for Rohini. His experience that his opinion and respect in the family were ignored, he was deeply hurt.
Rohini’s statement on social media
Rohini shared one post after another on her X (X) account. First she shared the old video in which she was going to Operation Theater to save her father’s life. He then wrote, “I have done my duty as a daughter and sister and will continue to perform further. Neither I have a longing for a position nor I have any political ambition. I have self -respecting paramount.” After these posts, he unfollowed the family, siblings and all the party’s accounts and made his social media private. In political corridors, the move was considered a clear message that Rohini has started distance from politics.
Political impact and impact on the upcoming election
Rohini’s displeasure can affect the organization and leadership of the party, not just personal. It may have an impact on Yadav Votebank, women and young voters. Opposition parties can take advantage of this and raise the question: “The house does not handle, what will Bihar be handled?”
Tej Pratap support
Tej Pratap Yadav supported his sister, saying, “Rohini is very older than me. I have played on her lap as a child. The sacrifice he gave is difficult for any daughter, sister and mother. The pain she expressed is justified.” His statement made it clear that Rohini also got political and emotional support within the family, but the priority of his father and brother continued to look different.
Family vs politics
Rohini Acharya’s return to Singapore and social media drama shows that the confrontation between respect and political ambition in the Lalu family is serious. This is not only a family case, but can also affect RJD’s election strategy, voter psychology and party’s credibility. If the dispute is not resolved soon, it could become a big threat to RJD in the 2025 Bihar assembly elections.
