Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD founder Lalu Prasad, escalated her public attack on her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav's close advisors, accusing them of severe mistreatment. On Sunday, she claimed that members of Tejashwi's core team humiliated her by raising slippers and abusing her over the kidney she donated to save her father. Rohini said she was mocked for the transplant and accused of taking money and buying a Saran ticket. She quit politics and disowned her family after the incident. Rohini blamed Sanjay Yadav, Tejashwi's political advisor and Rajya Sabha MP, and Rameez Neyaz Khan for the confrontation. Her brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who was expelled from the party in May, supported her, calling the insult unbearable. The public dispute emerged after Rohini accused Tejashwi of sidelining her during ticket distribution for Assembly seats in Saran, where she lost in last year's Lok Sabha elections. The controversy has brought scrutiny to Tejashwi's inner circle, including Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Khan, both accused of wielding excessive influence.
Rohini's allegations and family rift
Rohini Acharya accused Tejashwi Yadav's advisors of abusing and threatening her, calling her kidney donation to save Lalu Prasad dirty and claiming she bought a political ticket. She advised women not to repeat her mistake of donating a kidney without family permission. Leaving her parents' Patna residence on Sunday, she said she had no family left and blamed Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Neyaz Khan. Tej Pratap Yadav backed his sister, saying the insult was unbearable. The conflict began after Rohini felt ignored in ticket distribution for Saran Assembly seats following her Lok Sabha election defeat. RJD sources said tensions deepened as Sanjay and Rameez distanced her from family decisions.
Tejashwi's core team under scrutiny
Sanjay Yadav, a Rajya Sabha MP from Haryana, has known Tejashwi since his IPL days and became his key advisor. RJD workers accuse him of misleading Tejashwi and wielding too much power in ticket distribution. Rameez Neyaz Khan, a Uttar Pradesh resident and former cricketer, manages Tejashwi's social media and political appointments. He is accused in a murder case involving Tulsipur Nagar Panchayat chairman. Other team members include Sunil Singh, an RJD MLC, Engineer Sunil, Mohammed Adnan, and spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav. Rohini alleged that Sanjay and Rameez sidelined her from Saran politics and distanced her from her family, reducing even Lalu's role to advisory.
