After his party, RJD, faced a humiliating defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s very public family feud has added to the humiliation. Following the serious allegations levelled by his daughter Rohini Acharya against some unnamed members of her family, her elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who was earlier expelled from the party, came out in her defence.

In a statement posted on Instagram by his party, Janshakti Janta Dal, Tej Pratap Yadav said that he tolerated his insult silently, but he would not tolerate the humiliation of her sister. He added that he is enraged by the incident and that the people of Bihar would not forgive the people who misbehaved with Rohini.

“Yesterday’s incident has shaken my heart to the core. I tolerated what happened to me, but the insult inflicted on my sister is unbearable under any circumstances. Listen, Jaichands— if you attack the family, the people of Bihar will never forgive you. Ever since I heard the news of my sister Rohini being hit by a slipper, my heart has been filled with rage. When public sentiments are hurt, the dust on the intellect is blown away. These few faces have clouded even Tejaswi’s intellect. The consequences of this injustice will be extremely dire. The reckoning of time is very harsh.”

Tej Pratap further appealed to Lalu Prasad Yadav to give him a ‘signal’ to expose the ‘Jaichands’ or traitors behind the issue. He said, “I request the Honorable RJD National President and my father, my political guru, Shri Lalu Prasad Ji— Father, give me a signal… just one gesture, and the people of Bihar will bury these Jaichands themselves. This is not a fight for any party—it is a fight for the honor of the family, the dignity of the daughter, and the self-respect of Bihar.”

In the meanwhile, a old video of Tej Pratap Yadav defending Rohini Acharya has re-emerged on social media, with many wrongly claiming it to be recent after Rohini’s comments. In the video, he had said, “Whoever insults our sister, Krishna’s Sudarshan Chakra will strike them.”

Rohini Acharya accuses Tejashwi Yadav and his close aides of humiliating her

Speaking to reporters at Patna airport yesterday (15th November), Rohini Acharya announced that she has disowned her family after she was subjected to filthy abuses, physical intimidation and was asked to leave her father’s house. Acharya directly blamed her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav and his two closest aides, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav and political advisor Rameez Ahmad, for orchestrating her expulsion from the family. She also posted a couple of emotional messages on Facebook yesterday narrating how she was humiliated after she refused to compromise her self-respect and stood by the truth. Acharya, who gave her kidney to save her father’s life in 2022, also said that being a ‘dirty’ person, she was given her ‘dirty’ kidney to her father.

The conflict in the Yadav family has been brewing months after Tej Pratap Yadav’s photos and videos with a woman named Anushka Yadav appeared on social media, leading to his expulsion from the RJD. Tej Pratap formed his own party Janshakti Janata Dal and contested the Bihar Assembly Elections. Last month, Acharya unfollowed her father, Lalu Prasad and brother Tejashwi on X, triggering speculation. She had also supported criticism of Sanjay Yadav, who was seen by many as becoming too powerful within the party.
