After RJD’s defeat in Bihar elections 2025, Lalu’s daughter Rohini Acharya has announced to leave politics and family. He accused Tejashwi’s advisors Sanjay Yadav and Rameez of putting pressure on him, which has exposed a big divide in the family.
Just after the crushing defeat of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, a big split has come to light in the family of Lalu Prasad Yadav. Lalu’s daughter and Tejashwi Yadav’s sister Rohini Acharya has made a shocking announcement on the social media site ‘X’, talking about breaking ties with politics and family, which has created an uproar in the RJD camp.
Direct accusation on Tejashwi’s advisors
Rohini Acharya has not only announced to leave politics, but has also made serious allegations of putting pressure on the two people considered closest to Tejashwi Yadav. She wrote in her post, “I am leaving politics and breaking ties with my family. Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked me to do the same and I am taking all the blame on myself.”
Who are Sanjay and Rameez?
Sanjay Yadav is considered to be the key strategist and advisor of RJD’s Rajya Sabha MP and Tejashwi Yadav, who is also called the ‘brain’ of the party’s policies. Rameez is seen as Tejashwi’s shadow, although he holds no official party post. Rohini’s direct allegation is on Tejashwi’s core team, which highlights the discord within the Lalu family after the defeat.
Chain broken in Lalu family
This is not the first time that political differences have come to the fore in the Lalu family. This major defeat of RJD which reduced it to 25 seats has further exposed its internal weaknesses. Lalu Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has already walked away from the party and family and formed his own party ‘Janshakti Janata Dal’ and contested the elections against RJD (though he lost his seat). Now this shocking step of Rohini Acharya has put a big question mark on the unity of Lalu family.
Edited post increased the suspense
The interesting thing about this post of Rohini Acharya is that earlier she had only written ‘leaving politics’ and ‘breaking ties with family’. Later the post was edited and the names of Sanjay Yadav and Rameez were added. This development has put immense pressure on RJD to clarify the situation as soon as possible on the dispute arising within the family and the organization after the party’s crushing defeat. This statement of Rohini Acharya, who lives in Singapore, is being considered as a big crisis for the future politics of RJD.
