“Tejashwi so unpopular in family, made Rohini scapegoat for defeat”: NDA leaders on Lalu Yadav family feud

As Mahagathbandhan suffered a crushing defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls, the feud in the family of RJD’s supremo Lalu Prasad intensified with his daughter Rohini Acharya announcing her decision to quit politics after being subjected to “filthy abuses” in the family. Her decision has drawn criticism from several NDA leaders, who have held mainly Tejashwi Yadav and his close aides responsible for the worsening situation.

BJP leader Nitin Nabin, who also registered victory from Bankipur Assembly, said, “It’s a family matter, but the way Lalu Yadav has brought his entire family into politics is a bad outcome. Tejashwi Yadav has become so unpopular in his own family, so how can you think he will be able to move things forward in society? Tejashwi Yadav should come forward and answer.”
