Rohini Acharya Quits Politics After Bihar Rout, Accuses Tejashwi Aides of Forcing Her Out

Her claims sharpen scrutiny of adviser power inside the RJD after the party’s tally plunged to about 24–25 seats.

Overview

  • Rohini Acharya posted on X that she is quitting politics and disowning her family, naming Sanjay Yadav and Rameez and saying they asked her to do it while she would take the blame.
  • She later told reporters in Patna that she was thrown out of the family for questioning them, alleging she was disgraced, abused, and even hit, including a slipper being raised at her.
  • Sanjay Yadav is an RJD Rajya Sabha MP widely seen as a close aide to Tejashwi Yadav, and Rameez is described as Tejashwi’s longtime associate; neither has issued a substantive public response.
  • The announcement comes a day after the Bihar results, where the NDA secured roughly 200 seats and the RJD slumped from 75 to about 24–25, with Tejashwi leading the opposition campaign.
  • Rival leaders reacted, with JD(U)’s Neeraj Kumar calling her move one made out of pain and BJP figures pointing to family turmoil, while the RJD has not announced any internal action.
