Overview
- In a post on X, Rohini Acharya said she was “quitting politics” and “disowning” her family, later editing the message to add that Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked her to do it.
- The move came a day after the RJD slumped to about 25 seats in the Bihar Assembly as the NDA secured 202, with the BJP winning 89 and JD(U) 85.
- Sanjay Yadav is an RJD Rajya Sabha MP and a close aide to Tejashwi Yadav, while Rameez is described as Tejashwi’s longtime associate, and neither has issued a clarifying response.
- The public rupture follows earlier strains in the Lalu Prasad Yadav family, including Tej Pratap Yadav’s expulsion and Rohini’s previous displays of displeasure on social media.
- Coverage frames the post as exposing widening rifts within the party and, according to some observers, as a possible pressure tactic aimed at the leadership.
