A day after Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, announced her decision to quit politics and cut ties with her family, four other daughters of RJD chief were also seen travelling out of Patna on Sunday.
News agency ANI shared a video from the Patna airport, which showed Lalu Prasad Yadav’s three daughters, Ragini Yadav, Chanda Yadav, and Raj Lakshmi Yadav, leaving for Delhi along with their families.
Hours later, Lalu Yadav’s fourth daughter, Hema Yadav, was seen arriving at the Delhi airport, a video shared by news agency PTI showed.
Another video showed Ragini Yadav, Chanda Yadav, and Raj Lakshmi Yadav, along with their families, arriving at RJD leader Misa Bharti’s residence in Delhi late on Sunday,
As Lalu Yadav’s family feud went full public on Sunday, Rohini Acharya recounted the events that took place following Mahagathbandhan’s crushing defeat in the Bihar elections.
She also emphasised that she has the blessings of her parents, Lalu and Rabri Devi.
Asserting that she “hasn’t lied about any of the events" that occurred during the family dispute, as indicated by details she shared on X, Acharya said her father has consistently supported her.
“Whatever I had to say, I have said on my social media. I have not lied about anything that happened. Rohini jo bolti hai sach bolti hai (Whatever Rohini says is the truth). You may go and ask all of this to Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Yadav, Rachel Yadav, and Rameez," Rohini told reporters.
“My father has always been by my side. My parents and my sisters were crying for me yesterday. I am blessed to have parents like them," she said.
“I feel fortunate to have parents like mine. In a family, why is it that only daughters are expected to make sacrifices, especially when there are brothers? When questions were asked of the brothers, they told me to go to my in-laws’ house. As a result, I have decided to disown my brother," she added.
Former RJD leader further said that she is now heading to Mumbai to stay with her mother-in-law.
“She (mother-in-law) is concerned and has been crying since yesterday," Rohini said.
Hours before, Rohini Acharya sparked a firestorm with her explosive social media posts explaining the pain of being ostracised, of being made to feel worthless, the burden she carries.
In an emotional post on X, Rohini claimed that she was “humiliated," “abused," and even faced the threat of being hit with a slipper.
“Yesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was humiliated, abuses were hurled, shoes were raised to kill her. I didn’t compromise on my self-respect, didn’t give up on truth. Just because of this, I had to face insults," Rohini mentioned in an X post.
“Yesterday, a daughter left her crying parents and siblings due to helplessness. She was forced to leave her parental home, she was made an orphan, I pray that none of you ever have to walk my path, and no house should have a daughter-sister like Rohini," she wrote.
After announcing her decision to “quit politics", Acharya claimed that Tejashwi Yadav and his close aide, RJD MP Sanjay Yadav, have “thrown" her out of the family.
Tejashwi’s sister alleged that she was “disgraced, abused, and even hit" when she questioned Sanjay Yadav about the party’s defeat.
“I have no family. You can go and ask this to Sanjay Yadav, Rameez, and Tejashwi Yadav. They are the ones who threw me out of the family," Rohini Acharya told reporters in her first reaction after being asked about her ‘shocking’ announcement earlier in the day.
In the recently concluded Bihar assembly elections, the RJD secured just 25 seats despite contesting on more than 140 seats in the 243-member state assembly.
