NEW DELHI: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya has levelled serious allegations against her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his close aides Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Nemat, claiming they forced her out of the family and attempted to silence her after the party’s crushing defeat in the Bihar assembly elections. Her outburst came shortly after she declared that she was “quitting politics” and “disowning” her family.Speaking to ANI, Rohini said that she faced hostility when she questioned the leadership about the RJD’s performance. “I have no family. You can go and ask this to Sanjay Yadav, Rameez, and Tejashwi Yadav. They are the ones who threw me out of the family,” she said. She further alleged that she was “thrown out of the house, disgraced, abused, and even hit” during the confrontation.

The BJP won 89 seats, JD(U) secured 85, and smaller NDA allies posted strong strike rates across the state. The results have intensified scrutiny over Tejashwi’s leadership and the growing clout of his unelected coterie, with Rameez and Sanjay Yadav at its centre.Meanwhile, Bihar BJP chief Dilip Jaiswal said the matter was internal but added that Rohini deserved sensitivity, noting that she had donated a kidney to Lalu Prasad Yadav. He said, “The way Lalu Yadav’s family is constantly falling apart due to one or two individuals, no one will like it.” BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the episode reflected deeper cracks in the RJD and added, “RJD is disintegrating, and the signs are not good.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
