In such a situation, during the Bihar elections, the Lalu family and his party RJD (RJD) are seen getting entangled in a new controversy.
How did the controversy start?
Please tell that Alok Kumar is very close to the Lalu family. He had posted a post on Facebook, in which there was a picture of Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘Bihar Adhikar Yatra’ bus. In that picture, in the absence of Tejashwi, RJD MP and his advisor Sanjay Yadav were seen sitting on his front seat. Alok Alok Kumar, a resident of Patna, posted Facebook and questioned- “How can anyone sit on Tejashwi’s chair?” Rohini Acharya shared the same post on his Facebook page without any comment. On seeing this, this news spread like fire and a round of political discussions started on it.

What did Lalu Yadav say by calling Rohini?
According to special sources, when this matter reached Tejashwi Yadav, he became very angry. It is said that Tejashwi, who went out on Bihar Adhikar Yatra, called his father Lalu Yadav from Samastipur and complained and even said that “If all this continues in the house, he will go to Delhi.” After Tejashwi’s displeasure, Lalu Yadav called Rohini directly and said that such controversial steps should not be taken in the election time. Hearing the father’s rebuke, Rohini immediately became emotional and wept.

Shortly after the scolding, Rohini posted a post on her social media. It was written in it- “I have performed my duty and religion as a daughter and sister and will continue to perform further. I have no longing for any position, nor do I have any political ambition. My self-respect for me is paramount.”

Why did questions arise on Sanjay Yadav?
Even though Rohini did not directly name anyone, but political analysts are looking at it by linking it to Sanjay Yadav. Actually, Tej Pratap Yadav has also earlier called Sanjay Yadav ‘Jaichand’ without naming. This development indicates that the RJD family and the party are pull deepening.
Who is Sanjay Yadav?
Sanjay Yadav was born on 24 February 1984 in Nangal Sirohi village in Mahendragarh district of Haryana. He has studied MSc and MBA from Delhi. He used to work in IT company before joining politics.
His friendship with Tejashwi Yadav was playing cricket during school days. When Lalu Yadav went to jail after the fodder scam and Tejashwi had to enter politics, he also took his close friend Sanjay in politics. After this, Sanjay played an important role not only in RJD’s online campaign but also in ground strategy. In 2024 this year, he became a Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar.
Why the dispute before the election is important?
Before the Bihar assembly elections, such a dispute within the Lalu family can work to give a strong issue to the opposition. Tejashwi Yadav, who is leading the RJD, wants the message of solidarity of the family and the party to the public, but the internal resentment arising about Sanjay Yadav is blurring the picture. Rohini Acharya’s move and to private the account is an indication that the inner tussle of RJD has now come in front of the public.
