Rohini Acharya Quits Politics, Says Tejashwi’s Aides Drove Her Out After RJD’s Bihar Rout

The outburst spotlights the clout of Tejashwi Yadav’s unelected aides following the RJD’s collapse to 25 seats.

Four of Rohini Acharya's sisters quietly left the family’s Patna residence with their children, and Tej Pratap Yadav issued an emotional defence, warning those who he alleged were responsible.

Overview

  • Announcing her decision on X, Rohini Acharya said she is leaving politics and disowning her family, adding that Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked her to do so and that she would take the blame.
  • Speaking at Patna airport, she alleged Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Yadav and Rameez expelled her, claiming she was disgraced, abused and threatened with a slipper for raising accountability questions.
  • She also said she was taunted over her 2022 kidney donation to Lalu Prasad Yadav as a “dirty kidney,” allegations that have not drawn a substantive public response from the RJD leadership or the aides named.
  • The family rift widened as four sisters left the Patna home for Delhi and expelled son Tej Pratap publicly backed Rohini, warning those he blamed for her treatment.
  • The controversy erupted a day after the RJD’s electoral setback to 25 seats, with observers interpreting Rohini’s disclosures as a push to force action against influential aides Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Nemat Khan.
