From Aishwarya to Rohini: Is Internal Conflict Tearing the Lalu Yadav Family Down?

Bihar: After the Bihar election results, as much as the political defeat is in the headlines, the growing rift in Lalu Prasad Yadav's family is being discussed more. From the very next day of the election results, Lalu Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya has been continuously making allegations on social media, which has put both the party and the family in an uncomfortable situation.

Have Rohini's allegations exposed the family discord?

Rohini has made serious allegations on social media like being abused, insulted, and hit with slippers. She also said that she is breaking ties with her family along with politics. Rohini, who made headlines by donating a kidney to her father, now says that she was isolated from the family.

Why did Tej Pratap come out in support of his sister?

As soon as Rohini's allegations came to light, elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav said he would fight for his sister's honor. Along with this, he even talked about supporting NDA. Such family rifts have put RJD in further trouble immediately after the election defeat.

Is this the first time that such allegations have been made against Lalu family?

The internal strife of Lalu family has been in the headlines earlier also. The controversy between Tej Pratap Yadav and his wife Aishwarya Rai had created a lot of discussion in 2018. Aishwarya had made allegations of domestic violence and mental harassment. She was thrown out of the house crying, which made the whole matter public.

Why was Tej Pratap evicted from the family?

Recently, Tej Pratap Yadav posted a picture with a woman on social media and described her as his “girlfriend of 12 years”. The family did not tolerate this and threw him out of both the party and the family. After this Tej Pratap formed a new party and contested the elections, but faced defeat. He continuously attacked Tejashwi Yadav during the election campaign.

Have Rohini's allegations heated up the political atmosphere?

Rohini has become vocal again after the election results. She said that as a daughter and a sister, she had to face insults, and the family did not support her. BJP immediately made it an issue. The party termed the Lalu family as anti-women and said that they gave preference to their son by putting their daughter's honor at stake.

Lalu family is silent at the moment, but the way this controversy is spreading publicly, it is clear that the breaking narrative of the family has become a bigger challenge for them than political defeat.
