Patna, 10 January (H.S.): Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad's daughter Rohini Acharya sharply criticized her own family members on Saturday for allegedly dismantling the political legacy built by her father, asserting that no external interference is required for its destruction.

Cryptic Social Media Attack

In a post on X, Acharya refrained from naming specific individuals but lambasted those within the family for eroding the foundational identity and existence provided by Lalu Prasad's decades-long socio-economic justice campaign. She claimed ongoing attempts exist to obliterate visible markers of the legacy's originators, intensifying speculation amid prior public rifts.

Context of Family Feud

Acharya's remarks follow a series of high-profile family disputes, including her earlier accusations against brother Tejashwi Yadav's aides for insulting her, prompting her to quit active RJD politics and briefly disown the family after Bihar's assembly election setbacks.

Tensions escalated when she alleged physical humiliation, including abusive language and a slipper being brandished at her, forcing her exit from the family residence in Patna while leaving parents Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi in tears.

Broader Political FalloutThe outburst reignites murmurs of internal power struggles within the Yadav family, highlighted by Lalu's prior expulsion of elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party and Rohini's own electoral defeat from Saran in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Her prior gun-wielding social media post warning enemies had already fueled narratives of deepening clan divisions ahead of Bihar's political maneuvering.
