After Rohini Acharya, RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad’s three more daughter, Ragini, Chanda and Rajlakshmi , have also left their parents home, as the controversy rapidly escalates into a full-fledged family feud. On Sunday, Rohini claimed she was insulted for donating her “dirty kidney” to her father and was falsely accused of taking crores of rupees and seeking a Lok Sabha ticket in return.
Their brother Tej Pratap Yadav, disowned by his father and ousted from the party last year, spoke up against Rohini's "humiliation". Tej Pratap said in a social media post, "Yesterday's incident has shaken me. But the insult meted out to my sister is intolerable.

"I tolerated whatever happened to me but her humiliation cannot be tolerated under any condition... The consequence of this injustice will be very dire." Appealing to Lalu, he said, "Just one nod, and the people of Bihar will bury these Jaichands themselves. This fight is not for any party; it is for the honour of the family, the dignity of the daughter, and the self-respect of Bihar."


Lalu, his younger son and political heir Tejashwi, and the rest of the family have remained silent—reflecting the deep divisions and emotional turmoil within the household. The party, too, has chosen not to comment.

According to some party leaders, tensions among the siblings had been simmering for a long time as Tejashwi tightened his grip on the organisation and increasingly relied on a circle of loyal advisers to manage its affairs. That setup is now facing renewed scrutiny.

Earlier, Rohini alleged she was humiliated and abused, and a slipper was lifted to hit her. She said her parents, Lalu and Rabri Devi, both former CMs, were crying and blamed Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Nemat Khan, who hails from Uttar Pradesh and is said to be Tejashwi's friend, for her "fate".
The comments come at a time when political developments in Bihar are drawing heightened public attention, as the ruling NDA got 202 seats, a three-fourths majority in the 243-member House.
