Overview

  • Rohini Acharya announced on X that she is leaving politics and disowning her family, stating it was at the urging of Sanjay Yadav and Rameez and that she is taking all the blame.
  • Multiple outlets report the post was initially shorter and was later edited to include the names of Sanjay Yadav and Rameez.
  • Sanjay Yadav is an RJD Rajya Sabha MP widely described as a close aide to Tejashwi Yadav, while Rameez is reported as a long-time associate linked to Tejashwi.
  • The declaration came a day after the NDA won roughly 202 of 243 seats in Bihar, as the RJD-led alliance slumped to around 25 seats after contesting over 140.
  • The move adds to visible strains in the Yadav family and the RJD, following Lalu Prasad Yadav’s earlier expulsion of elder son Tej Pratap and Rohini’s recent public distancing; she had contested Saran in 2024 and previously donated a kidney to her father.
