Overview

• Rohini Acharya posted that she has no political ambition and that her self‑respect is paramount, sharing images from Lalu Prasad Yadav’s 2022 kidney transplant.
• She made her X account private and unfollowed family handles, including Tejashwi Yadav, after a series of cryptic messages.
• The immediate flashpoint was a viral photo of Tejashwi aide Sanjay Yadav in the front seat of the campaign vehicle, which Rohini amplified by resharing a critical post before later highlighting representation of backward leaders.
• Expelled RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav publicly supported Rohini and warned critics with his ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ remark.
• NDA figures used the episode to question RJD’s cohesion, Tejashwi Yadav dismissed talk of a rift, and the party has not issued a formal response.
