Rohini Acharya Quits Politics and Says She’s “Disowning” Her Family After Bihar Election Result

Following the severe defeat of the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, Rohini Acharya, daughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav, announced she is quitting politics and disassociating from her family, sparking major speculation about internal dynamics.

PATNA, 15 November 2025 – In an unexpected and emotional announcement, Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, declared that she is stepping away from politics and distancing herself from her own family. Her decision came just a day after the Rashtriya Janata Dal–led Mahagathbandhan suffered a heavy defeat in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025. Posting on X, she wrote that she was quitting politics and “disowning” her family, adding that she was taking the blame because this was what “Sanjay Yadav and Rameez” had asked her to do. The message was cryptic but powerful enough to trigger widespread speculation.

Her statement has intensified discussions about internal tensions within the RJD, especially at a time when the party is already facing organisational pressure after repeated electoral setbacks. Rohini has been a prominent figure in recent years, having contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Saran and appearing as one of the next-generation faces of the Yadav family. Her sudden move has raised questions about deep-rooted disagreements, emotional strain after the poll loss or dissatisfaction with the functioning of the party’s inner circle.

The reference to Sanjay Yadav, a close aide of Tejashwi Yadav, and Rameez, known to be connected to the family, has added more layers to the controversy. Political observers say the post hints at internal blame games and factional pressure within the party following the election results. With the RJD failing to meet expectations and slipping from its previous strong position, the frustration within the organisation seems to have reached boiling point.

Her exit is likely to impact the party’s morale and public image, as it comes at a time when the RJD leadership is attempting to reassess its strategy and rebuild trust among its voter base. Family unity has always been a key narrative for the party, and this public break adds to the challenges Tejashwi Yadav now faces both as a leader and as a member of the family’s political legacy.

Within hours of her post, reactions poured in from RJD supporters and critics alike. Some interpreted her message as a moment of emotional overwhelm following the party’s poor performance. Others believe it signals deeper cracks that may emerge more clearly in the coming days. Whether this is a permanent decision or a temporary withdrawal remains uncertain, but it has undoubtedly placed the RJD under sharper national scrutiny.

The episode also highlights how personal and political pressures can collide after major electoral setbacks. For now, the RJD is grappling with both the result and the uncomfortable questions rising from within. Attention will now turn to how the party leadership responds and whether attempts are made to reconcile with Rohini or address the underlying issues that prompted her announcement.
