Following a post targeting RJD leader Sanjay Yadav, the controversy surrounding Rohini Acharya, sister of Tejashwi Yadav, continues. She has faced significant trolling on social media. Although she deleted the original post, she also made her X handle private. On Sunday, she posted on her X handle, addressing her critics and those opposing her.
Acharya’s post, published at approximately 2:48 PM on Sunday, stated that the rumors spread by trolls, troublemakers, and those with malicious intentions to seize the party are baseless. She clarified that these actions are part of a smear campaign aimed at damaging her image.
She further emphasized that she has no political ambitions and never has had any desire for a position in the government. She doesn’t intend to become a candidate for the assembly or promote anyone else to be one. She has no aspiration for a Rajya Sabha seat and harbors no rivalry with any family member. She also has no desire for any post in the party or any future government. For her, her self-respect, respect and devotion to her parents, and the reputation of her family are of utmost importance.
Prior to this, Acharya had altered her X handle on Saturday, unfollowing Tejashwi Yadav and approximately 67 other RJD and associated leaders. She also changed her profile picture, which previously featured photos of her with Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav. The updated profile picture features Rohini alone. This is considered to indicate the internal conflict within the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is intensified because of the controversy with Sanjay Yadav.
The recent controversy involving Rohini Acharya emerged from a post on X before the announcement of the Bihar assembly elections. On September 18, 2025, Acharya’s post exposed the internal discord within the RJD. The post primarily targeted Sanjay Yadav, a close associate of Tejashwi Yadav, whom Rohini described as a ‘substandard’ person. Although she deleted the post later, the party has been grappling with the issue.
