RJD Breaks Silence on Rohini Acharya's 'Slipper Attack' Charge Against Lalu Prasad's Family: What Top Leader Said

The RJD, facing a feud within patriarch Lalu Yadav's family, tried to play down the issue, saying that it was a "family matter" and "only the top brass can give a reaction on the issue". The "pari-war"

in Lalu Yadav's family intensified today after his daughter Rohini Acharya charged cohorts of her brother Tejashwi Yadav with accusing her of donating a "bad" kidney to her father, "in exchange for crores of rupees and a party ticket".Acharya vented spleen in a couple of posts on X, a day after she had announced that she was "quitting politics and disowning my family", and alleged that she had been "driven out of my home" by Tejashwi, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, a close friend since her brother's cricketing days."Yesterday abuses were heaped on me and I was accused of donating my bad kidney to my father, and that too in exchange for crores of rupees and a party ticket", said Acharya, who had contested the Saran Lok Sabha seat in last year's general elections.RJD Mum on 'Slipper Attack' ChargeReacting to Acharya's grievous allegations, senior RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari said, "This is a family matter. Members of the family will speak on this. The party's top leadership will see this matter. The election results have come out just now. But why did such results come, and what were the reasons, is something that will be reviewed. Only after that can we give a response. Everyone knows that Rohini ji set an example; everyone would want a daughter and sister like her..."While RJD tried to play down the issue, the Congress justified it, saying "Hota rehta hai".The BJP, meanwhile, hit out at the RJD first family over the issue.

"RJD's anarchy earlier used to show outside, and now shows within the family. How will people with such ideology who can't keep their family intact, keep the state functioning well?... We will not comment as it is their family's internal matter, but this ideology will decide their future..," Bihar Dy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha said.BJP's national general secretary Tarun Chugh said that the "dynastic clan of the INDI alliance is continuously disintegrating". "How can those who are unable to unite their families unite Bihar," he asked.The JD(U) also criticised the RJD for ill treatment of Rohini Acharya. "... May God bless everyone with such a daughter. She should receive the respect she truly deserves. Politics should not impact personal life and family matters. It is their issue, but they should think, resolve it, and remain united as a family," JD(U) winning candidate from Bahadurpur assembly Seat Madan Sahni said.Reason Behind Fued in RJD's First FamilyAccording to reports, things turned sour when Rohini Acharya insisted that accountability be fixed for the party's debacle in the recently held polls, in which the RJD won only 25 seats of the 243-strong Bihar assembly.She had also spoken bitterly of "Sanjay and Rameez" - both close aide of Tejashwi, claiming to be master strategists like "Chanakya" who paid no heed to feedback from grassroots-level workers.While much is not known about Rameez except that he hails from Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh, where his father-in-law Rizwan Zaheer has been a former MP, Acharya shared a social media post describing him as "a gangster with a criminal bent of mind, a murder accused who works for Sanjay Yadav".
