Rohini Acharya’s Social-Media Snub Puts RJD Family Strains on Display Ahead of Bihar Polls

RJD now faces a public row over Tejashwi Yadav’s aide that risks distracting its campaign.

Overview

  • On Sunday, Rohini Acharya said rumors about her political ambitions were a smear campaign and reiterated that she seeks no post or ticket.
  • She unfollowed Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav and the RJD on X and made her account private, turning private unease into a public episode.
  • The dispute traces to a viral image of advisor Sanjay Yadav in the front seat of Tejashwi’s campaign bus, which Rohini amplified by resharing a critical post.
  • Tej Pratap Yadav publicly backed his sister and warned critics with a “Sudarshan Chakra” remark, stepping in after months of estrangement from the party.
  • Opponents such as JD(U) seized on the row to target the RJD, while Tejashwi Yadav insisted there is no rift as the party continues its yatra and seat-sharing talks.
