Patna, Nov 16: A day after the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s crushing defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections, party supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya announced her exit from politics and severed all ties with her family. In an emotional message, she alleged that she was abused, humiliated, and even assaulted by her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his close aide, RJD MP Sanjay Yadav, after she questioned the leadership over the party’s poor performance.

Rohini wrote that she was insulted with “filthy language” and even threatened with a slipper. “I did not compromise on self-respect nor surrender the truth, and for that, I was disgraced,” she said. She added that she was forced to leave her crying parents and siblings behind, stripped of her dignity and identity. “They made me an orphan,” she wrote, urging that no woman should ever face what she endured.

Speaking to reporters, Rohini said her decision was not taken in haste. “You can ask Sanjay Yadav, Rameez, and Tejashwi Yadav. They threw me out. I have no family left,” she said. She alleged that senior leaders were unwilling to take responsibility for the party’s heavy losses and that she was assaulted when she named those responsible.

The crisis has deepened rifts within the Yadav family, which has been battling internal tensions for months. Earlier, her brother Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled from both the party and the family following a series of controversies, before launching his own party that failed to make an impact in the polls.

BJP leaders reacted by calling it an internal family matter but urged unity. Bihar BJP chief Dilip Jaiswal said, “Rohini donated her kidney to save her father. The family must remember such values.” BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy said her distress reflected deeper disappointment within the RJD.

The controversy comes on the heels of RJD’s dramatic electoral collapse — it won only 25 seats, while the NDA crossed the 200-mark in the 243-member House.

Once admired for her loyalty to her father, Rohini’s allegations of being “hit, humiliated, and disowned” have turned a political setback into a personal storm for Bihar’s most prominent political family. Her final words — “No home should ever have a daughter like Rohini” — underline the pain and betrayal she says she suffered.
