The Yadav family imploded into public view after RJD’s humiliating Bihar election defeat, with Lalu Prasad Yadav’s eldest active daughter Rohini Acharya unleashing a series of devastating posts on X accusing younger brother and former deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav of hurling a slipper at her, showering her with filthy abuses, and viciously mocking the kidney she donated to their father in Singapore in 2022. The explosive confrontation erupted at the family’s 10 Circular Road residence in Patna on Saturday, just 24 hours after RJD was reduced to a historic low of 25 seats.
In heart-wrenching detail, Rohini revealed Tejashwi screamed, “Tumhare karan hum chunaav haar gaye” (We lost because of you) and “Tumhara haay lag gaya” (Your curse ruined us), before allegedly throwing a slipper and branding her “filthy”. She claimed he further insulted her life-saving donation by alleging she “sold” her kidney for crores and a Lok Sabha ticket from Saran, which she lost last year. “A daughter, a sister, a married woman and mother was humiliated… I left my crying parents because I refused to surrender my self-respect,” she wrote, declaring she was now “orphaned” and quitting politics forever.
On Monday, a visibly strained Lalu Prasad Yadav addressed the crisis for the first time during a meeting of newly elected RJD MLAs in Patna, attended by wife Rabri Devi and daughter Misa Bharti. Dismissing the scandal as “an internal family matter that will be resolved within the family,” the RJD supremo asserted, “I am there to deal with it.” Despite the chaos, Tejashwi was unanimously elected leader of the legislature party, with Lalu publicly praising his “hard work” during the campaign and insisting only Tejashwi could lead RJD forward.

The fallout has spread rapidly: three other sisters — Rajlakshmi, Ragini, and Chanda — have reportedly packed their bags and left the ancestral home in solidarity with Rohini. Sources say simmering anger over elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav’s expulsion from party activities and Rohini’s repeated questioning of Tejashwi’s closest aides Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Nemat Khan finally detonated the long-suppressed tensions inside one of India’s most powerful political families.
With Rohini vowing never to return and warning other daughters never to sacrifice for parents when a brother exists, Lalu’s promise of a quiet family resolution looks increasingly fragile. The once-invincible Yadav clan now stands publicly fractured, handing rivals fresh ammunition and leaving the RJD staring at its deepest leadership crisis in decades.
