Bihar’s political circles are buzzing with Rohini Acharya’s latest social media salvo against her brother Tejashwi Yadav, timed perfectly to disrupt the RJD national executive meeting scheduled for today in Patna. With a key resolution on the table to name Tejashwi National Working President, her words strike at the heart of party leadership and family dynamics.
Posting on X, Rohini rallies ‘true Laluwad’ warriors—those who selflessly fought alongside Lalu for the marginalized’s rights. She laments the party’s ‘bitter, worrisome decline,’ blaming it on ‘infiltrators and conspirators’ dispatched by adversaries to demolish Lalu’s socialist vision. These elements, she argues, have entrenched themselves and are perilously close to success.
Leaders must stop evading scrutiny, Rohini asserts, urging them to self-reflect rather than bully critics or peddle confusion. Her ominous warning: silence from the top implies partnership in the plot against Laluwad.
This isn’t isolated; Rohini has been vocal post-Bihar polls, keeping the Yadavs in the spotlight. The Patna conclave, led by Lalu, draws heavyweights from across states. Tejashwi’s prior empowerment notwithstanding, the new role cements his status—prompting this preemptive familial broadside.
As RJD seeks to reclaim ground, internal purges loom large. Rohini’s clarion call challenges the status quo, potentially forcing a leadership showdown. Observers watch closely: can the party transcend personal animosities to revive Lalu’s ideology, or will infighting doom its prospects in Bihar’s cutthroat arena?
