Rohini Acharya Quits Politics, Says She Is 'Disowning' Family After RJD’s Bihar Rout

Her X post names Sanjay Yadav together with Rameez as prompting the step, sharpening scrutiny of their influence.

Overview

  • Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter announced on X that she is leaving politics and severing family ties a day after the Bihar results.
  • She attributed the move to directions from Sanjay Yadav, a close adviser to Tejashwi Yadav, and Rameez, saying she would take the blame.
  • Some outlets reported the post was later edited to add the references to Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, underscoring fast-shifting internal messaging.
  • Political observers quoted in reports framed the message as a possible pressure tactic within the RJD following the election collapse.
  • The BJP-led NDA won over 200 of 243 seats, while the RJD fell to about 25 seats; Rohini had lost the 2024 Saran Lok Sabha race and previously donated a kidney to her father.
