Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya, announced she is “disowning” her family and quitting politics in a social media post.

Rohini Acharya and Lalu Prasad Yadav (File photo) NEW DELHI: In a cryptic social media post declaring that she is “disowning” her family, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya named two individuals — Sanjay Yadav and Rameez — saying she had been merely doing what they had asked her to, yet she is now being blamed for everything. “I’m quitting politics and I’m disowning my family… This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked me to do… and I’m taking all the blame,” wrote Acharya, who is a doctor by qualification and based in Singapore, a day after the RJD-led alliance suffered a heavy defeat in the Bihar assembly elections.Who are Sanjay Yadav and Rameez?According to news agency PTI, the “Sanjay Yadav” referred to in Acharya’s post is a close aide of her brother Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD-led alliance’s chief ministerial face in Bihar. Born in Haryana in 1984, Sanjay Yadav joined the RJD in 2012 and was elected to the Rajya Sabha by the party in 2024. Rameez, meanwhile, is reportedly an old friend of Tejashwi Yadav and comes from a political family in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.Why did Rohini Acharya quit politics and ‘disown’ her family?Acharya, who donated a kidney to her father in 2022, had unsuccessfully contested the Saran Lok Sabha seat last year. There had been speculation that she was “unhappy” over the expulsion of her elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the RJD. However, during the assembly election campaign, she was still seen actively canvassing for Tejashwi Yadav.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.
