Dindori (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 17 : Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Monday said that the time has come for dynastic politics to end in the country as he took aim at RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's family.
The remarks of the Union Minister came as RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter, Rohini Acharya, decided to quit politics, accusing her brother, Tejashwi Yadav, and his close aides, Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, of asking her to leave. She said that she was "humiliated, abuses were hurled, shoes were raised to kill her".
Speaking to ANI, Singh said, "PM Modi had already predicted it before the elections that Lalu Prasad Yadav's family would split after the elections. Now it is time for dynasty politics to end in democracy."
Rohini Acharya's announcement to step away from politics has triggered wide political reactions in Bihar, especially after the Rashtriya Janata Dal's poor performance in the recent Assembly elections, where the party secured only 25 of the over 140 seats it contested in the 243-member House.
Acharya, daughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav and former RJD leader, took to social media on Sunday to express her anguish, alleging humiliation, abuse, and threats from within the family. Her posts suggested that she felt "pushed aside," "worthless," and burdened by emotional distress - sparking widespread discussion across Bihar's political circles.
Recounting the incidents that occurred during the family dispute following the Mahagathbandhan's defeat, Acharya asserted that she has always had the blessings of her parents, Lalu and Rabri Devi. She further said she "hasn't lied about any of the events" related to the feud, adding that her father has consistently supported her.
There has been no immediate response from the RJD or members of the Yadav family to Rohini Acharya's claims.
The remarks come at a time when political developments in Bihar have intensified following the NDA's sweeping victory with 202 seats - a three-fourths majority in the state Assembly.
