Family tensions within the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) escalated dramatically as three daughters of party patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav—Rajlakshmi, Ragini, and Chanda—left their Patna home for Delhi. This move follows a public outburst by their sister, Rohini Acharya, who expressed her grievances against her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his associates, claiming she was mistreated after donating a kidney to their father.

Rohini's emotional statements have sparked a significant family crisis, with her alleging that she faced humiliation and threats from party insiders. She stated, "I tolerated whatever happened to me but her humiliation cannot be tolerated under any condition... The consequence of this injustice will be very dire," referring to the treatment of her sister.

The departure of Rajlakshmi, Ragini, and Chanda leaves only Lalu, his wife Rabri Devi, and daughter Misa Bharti at their residence, which was once a hub of RJD's political activities. The family turmoil comes on the heels of a disappointing performance in the recent Bihar Assembly elections, where the RJD won only 25 out of 143 contested seats, a significant drop from their previous tally of 75.

Tej Pratap Yadav, another brother, has voiced his concerns, calling for family unity and urging their father to intervene. He warned of severe consequences for those he termed "traitors" within the family. Meanwhile, the RJD has scheduled a meeting to discuss the party's poor electoral performance, indicating that the internal strife may have broader implications for the party's future.

As the situation unfolds, the silence from Tejashwi and his close associates raises questions about the leadership dynamics within the RJD, further complicating the already strained family relations.
