Amid Feud, Lalu’s Family Celebrates: Tejashwi’s Son ‘Tutu’ Named by Sister Rohini

The Rashtriya Janata Dal patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family found a reason to rejoice despite ongoing turmoil. Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar’s deputy chief ministerial face, welcomed his second child, a son, born to his wife Rajshree Yadav at a Delhi hospital. The newborn, affectionately nicknamed ‘Tutu’ by Tejashwi’s sister Rohini Acharya, brought a wave of happiness to the family, overshadowed by Tej Pratap’s recent expulsion and disownment over a controversial social media post. Rohini’s announcement on X, calling Tutu a “blessing,” resonated with supporters, offering a brief respite from political strife.

Rohini’s Heartfelt Gesture

Rohini Acharya, known for her vocal support of Tejashwi and her kidney donation to Lalu in 2022, shared a touching post on X, featuring a photo of the newborn wrapped in a blue blanket. “Meet our little Tutu, a gift to our family,” she wrote, sparking an outpouring of congratulations from RJD workers and fans. The naming, a personal touch from Rohini, contrasts with her earlier backing of Lalu’s decision to expel Tej Pratap for his erratic behavior, including a now-deleted post about a 12-year relationship. The family’s celebration, attended by Rabri Devi and Misa Bharti in Delhi, highlights their effort to focus on unity despite internal rifts.

Political Context and Public Response

The birth comes at a critical time as the RJD prepares for Bihar’s assembly elections, with Tejashwi leading the campaign amid Tej Pratap’s fallout. BJP’s Vijay Sinha mocked the timing, while JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha congratulated Tejashwi. The joy of Tutu’s arrival, celebrated with sweets distributed at Lalu’s Patna residence, underscores the family’s resilience, balancing personal milestones with the challenges of political and familial discord.
