Bihar BJP leader Dilip Jaiswal has called on RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav to address troubling allegations from his daughter Rohini Acharya, who donated a kidney to her father in 2022. The BJP official characterized as unfortunate the reported mistreatment that led Rohini to feel forced from the family home, suggesting that outside influences may be causing internal divisions. While acknowledging the sensitive nature of the domestic dispute, Jaiswal noted that the matter has become public through social media channels.
The controversy emerged after RJD suffered a significant electoral defeat, securing just 25 seats while the NDA coalition won 202 in the Bihar Assembly elections. Rohini subsequently posted statements indicating her intention to leave politics and distance herself from relatives, blaming close associates of her brother Tejashwi Yadav for pressuring her decision. Opposition politicians expressed concern about both family discord and its potential impact on party cohesion, particularly given the elder Yadav's reported health struggles.
