Family Feud Erupts: Tejashwi Yadav’s Sister Threatens to “Disown” Family After RJD’s Electoral Debacle

In Shorts:

• Internal Conflict: Rohini Acharya, sister of RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, publicly threatens to disown her family.
• Post-Election Fallout: The outburst comes directly after the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s (RJD) poor showing in recent elections.
• Political Exit: In a now-deleted post, Acharya also declared her intention to quit politics, citing her frustration.

PATNA – The political storm following the Lok Sabha election results has breached the walls of the Yadav family household, with a startling public airing of grievances that has sent shockwaves through Bihar’s political landscape.

Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav and sister of leader of the opposition Tejashwi Yadav, issued a severe threat on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating she is prepared to “disown” her own family. The emotional post, which has since been deleted, came in the direct aftermath of the RJD’s disappointing performance in the recently concluded elections.

“Now I will also disown my family. I am quitting politics,” Acharya wrote in Hindi, capturing the raw frustration and internal dissent simmering within the party’s first family. The RJD, which had high hopes of making significant gains, managed to secure only four of the state’s 40 seats, a result that has been viewed as a major setback for the party and for Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.

While Acharya did not elaborate on the specific reasons for her dramatic declaration, the context points towards intense internal finger-pointing and analysis following the electoral rout. Her statement suggests a deep-seated discontent with the party’s strategy or the family’s handling of the campaign.

This is not the first time Rohini Acharya has been in the political spotlight. She had actively campaigned for the party and was seen as a prominent figure representing the new generation of the Yadav political dynasty. Her sudden declaration to quit politics and sever family ties, therefore, is being interpreted as a sign of significant internal crisis for the RJD.

Political analysts suggest that such a public meltdown from a core family member could further weaken the party’s position as it attempts to regroup and mount a challenge against the ruling NDA coalition in Bihar. The incident raises serious questions about unity within the RJD’s top leadership and the future trajectory of one of Bihar’s most influential political families.
