The ongoing RJD pari-war took a dramatic and emotional turn on Saturday when Rohini Acharya, daughter of former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, announced that she was quitting politics and cutting all ties with her family. Her announcement came just a day after the Rashtriya Janata Dal suffered a humiliating defeat in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, further intensifying internal tensions within one of India’s most influential political dynasties.
In a startling post on X (formerly Twitter), Rohini wrote, “I’m quitting politics, and I’m disowning my family. This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked me to do, and I’m taking all the blame.” Her emotional revelation added another layer to the already growing cracks within the Yadav household — cracks that have now become impossible to ignore.
Why Rohini Acharya Quit Politics: From Internal Pressure to Family Rift
The latest twist in the RJD pari-war was not an overnight decision. According to party insiders and political analysts, Rohini Acharya’s dissatisfaction began months before the elections. Her gradual disengagement became visible when she unfollowed the official RJD handle, her father Lalu Yadav, and her brother Tejashwi Yadav on social media.
Rohini, a doctor by profession, had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections from Bihar’s Saran constituency but lost to BJP’s Rajiv Pratap Rudy. What followed was a period of emotional posts, cryptic hints, and indirect jabs that made the deepening tensions within the Lalu family public.
At the heart of the conflict, sources say, was a powerful mix of mistrust, political interference, and personal hurt — especially surrounding her kidney donation to Lalu Prasad Yadav in 2022. Rohini has repeatedly expressed frustration over the circulating rumours suggesting she never donated her kidney, claiming that these allegations were designed to tarnish her image.
How Sanjay Yadav Became the Centre of the Storm
The role of Sanjay Yadav, Tejashwi’s influential political advisor and Rajya Sabha MP, has been repeatedly mentioned as the main trigger behind the worsening RJD pari-war. Rohini’s frustration came into the spotlight during the Bihar Adhikar Yatra, where she expressed shock and displeasure at seeing Sanjay seated in the front seat of the RJD campaign bus — a seat traditionally held by senior party leaders or family members.
Her indirect post, widely interpreted as a criticism of Sanjay’s growing dominance, set off a major controversy. Party loyalists close to Tejashwi criticized Rohini, accusing her of holding political ambitions or seeking undue influence — allegations she fiercely denied.
Even more telling was the alignment of Tej Pratap Yadav — already expelled from RJD — who openly supported Rohini in her confrontation with Sanjay Yadav. Tej Pratap even invoked mythological references like Lord Krishna’s Sudarshan Chakra to hint at consequences for those targeting his sister.
With Tejashwi distancing himself and Lalu Yadav maintaining silence, Rohini felt increasingly isolated in a politically hostile environment.
Lalu Yadav’s Troubled Family: Tej Pratap Expelled, Rohini Walks Out
The RJD pari-war had already reached boiling point earlier this year when Lalu Prasad Yadav expelled his elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the party. The move came after Tej Pratap created a storm by posting on Facebook about a 12-year-long relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav while still entangled in a public divorce case.
Though Tej Pratap later claimed his social media account was hacked, the damage was already done. Lalu Yadav issued a stern statement calling Tej Pratap’s actions “irresponsible” and expelled him for six years from both the RJD and the family.
The fallout from that incident had barely settled when Rohini Acharya’s bombshell announcement created a fresh crisis — one that threatens to tear apart the family’s political legacy.

BJP Reacts: “The Daughter Who Donated Her Kidney Is Now Being Cast Out”
The BJP wasted no time in leveraging the deepening RJD pari-war to target Tejashwi Yadav and the crumbling unity of the RJD First Family.
Senior BJP leader Neeraj Kumar said, “The daughter who donated her kidney to Lalu Yadav and saved his life is now being pushed out of both the family and the party. One can only imagine how helpless she must feel.”
The BJP further accused the RJD of allowing “outsiders” — indirectly pointing to Sanjay Yadav — to dictate the future of Bihar’s oldest political dynasty.
Why the RJD Pari-War Matters in Bihar’s Political Future
The RJD pari-war has implications far beyond the Yadav household. The RJD’s political foundation is built on the legacy of the Yadav family and its ability to maintain loyalty among core supporters.
With Tejashwi Yadav now facing dissent from both his siblings, the party could face serious challenges in regaining trust, especially after the Bihar Assembly Election 2025 defeat. Internal fissures weaken the party’s ability to project stability and leadership — critical components for any regional political force.
Experts warn that publicized family feuds, emotional battles, and expulsion of immediate kin could also impact voter perception, which might work in favor of rival parties like the BJP and JD(U).

The Emotional Edge: Why Rohini’s Exit Hit Hard
Unlike Tej Pratap, who frequently makes headlines for controversial statements, Rohini Acharya has usually been perceived as calm, dignified, and dedicated. Her kidney donation made her a symbol of selflessness and family devotion. Many RJD supporters admired her for balancing her medical profession with political responsibilities.
Her emotional breakdown, public accusations, and eventual departure struck a chord among followers. The image of a daughter who sacrificed part of her own body for her father but later felt abandoned has become a major talking point across Bihar and social media.
Her final message, hinting at being “forced” or “pressured” by political aides, has only intensified scrutiny of the internal dynamics of Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.
Conclusion: The RJD Pari-War Is Far From Over
The explosive exit of Rohini Acharya marks a turning point in the RJD pari-war. What began as quiet rumours of discord has now transformed into a full-blown public conflict involving accusations, political interference, emotional pain, and fractured family ties.
With Tej Pratap already out and Rohini now distancing herself entirely, Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership is under intense scrutiny. The political future of the RJD may now depend on how — or whether — the family manages to mend these broken relationships. As Bihar watches closely, one thing is clear: this is not just a family matter anymore. It is a political earthquake with long-term implications.
