Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 17 : After Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya announced that she has disowned her family and quit politics, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Boora Narsaiah Goud underlined that the game of wealth and power sharing is now collapsing dynastic politics.
"Dynastic politics is now crumbling as families fight for power, wealth, and status. This is not limited to Lalu Prasad Yadav's family in Bihar. The rift between families is primarily due to power sharing and the vast wealth acquired through corrupt means... And that is what has happened in Bihar..." he said.
Meanwhile, Rohini Acharya on Sunday sparked a firestorm with her explosive social media posts explaining the pain of being ostracised, of being made to feel worthless, the burden she carries.
In an emotional post on X, Rohini claimed that she was "humiliated," "abused," and even faced the threat of being hit with a slipper. Rohini, a devoted daughter, sister, wife, and mother, stood up for her rights and dignity. Her family and community expected her to compromise, but she refused to betray her values. The backlash was brutal - verbal abuse, physical threats, and ultimately, expulsion from her parental home.
"Yesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was humiliated, abuses were hurled, shoes were raised to kill her... I didn't compromise on my self-respect, didn't give up on truth... just because of this, I had to face insults. Yesterday, a daughter left her crying parents and siblings due to helplessness... she was forced to leave her parental home... she was made an orphan... I pray that none of you ever have to walk my path, and no house should have a daughter-sister like Rohini," she wrote.
After announcing her decision to "quit politics", Acharya claimed that Tejashwi Yadav and his close aide, RJD MP Sanjay Yadav, have "thrown" her out of the family. Tejashwi's sister alleged that she was "disgraced, abused, and even hit" when she questioned Sanjay Yadav about the party's defeat.
"I have no family. You can go and ask this to Sanjay Yadav, Rameez, and Tejashwi Yadav. They are the ones who threw me out of the family," Rohini Acharya told reporters in her first reaction after being asked about her 'shocking' announcement earlier in the day.
Claiming that the party leadership don't want to take responsibility for the defeat in the Assembly election, Rohini Acharya said, "They don't want to take any responsibility. The whole nation is asking why the party failed like this. When you name Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, you are thrown out of the house, disgraced, abused, and even hit," she said.
The RJD performed poorly in the Bihar assembly polls, securing just 25 seats despite contesting on more than 140 seats in the 243-member state assembly.
However, there has been no immediate response from the RJD or members of the Yadav family regarding Rohini's allegations.
