Lalu Family Feud Turns Ugly Over Kidney Transplant Row
The Yadav family’s internal rift took a dramatic turn as Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya, alleged that her siblings verbally abused her and even raised a slipper at her during a heated argument. The altercation, reportedly at their Delhi residence, highlights deepening tensions within Bihar’s most influential political dynasty.
What Sparked the Fight?
The clash erupted over Rohini’s 2022 kidney donation to her ailing father, former Bihar CM Lalu Yadav. In explosive social media posts, Rohini claimed her sisters—Misa Bharti and Chanda Yadav—accused her of seeking “fame and political gains” through the transplant.
“They used filthy language and even threatened me with a slipper. My brothers, Tej Pratap and Tejashwi, did nothing,” Rohini wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Political Power Struggles Behind the Feud
The Yadavs, key figures in Bihar’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), have long faced internal strife despite maintaining a united front publicly. Rohini, traditionally less visible than her siblings, has recently become outspoken—a move analysts see as a challenge to Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.
Reactions: Embarrassment for RJD, Ammo for BJP
The public spat has drawn sharp reactions:
– BJP leaders mocked the RJD, with Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary calling it a “family fiefdom crumbling.”
– RJD spokespersons dismissed it as a “minor disagreement,” but the silence from Tejashwi and Misa Bharti’s denial (“baseless allegations”) hint at unresolved tensions.
Election Risks for RJD
With Bihar’s 2025 polls approaching, the feud threatens to undermine the RJD’s unity—a key asset against the BJP-JD(U) alliance. “Public infighting could erode their voter base,” warns Patna analyst Ajay Kumar.
Rohini demands an apology, but reconciliation seems unlikely. As emotions flare, the Yadavs’ private rift risks becoming a political liability.
