Rohini Acharya had also spoken bitterly of 'Sanjay and Rameez'
Patna, 16 Nov
RJD president Lalu Prasad's daughter Rohini Acharya on
Sunday 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".
She sparked a firestorm with her explosive social mediaposts explaining the pain of being ostracised, of being made to feel worthless,
the burden she carries.
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.
In an obvious dig at Tejashwi and Sanjay Yadav, she said,
"I would tell all married women never to do anything to save their
parents, and if they have a brother, they should ask him to donate his own
kidney or ask his Haryanavi friend to do so".
"I committed a sin by donating my kidney without
seeking the approval of my husband or in-laws or thinking of my three
children... may no daughter meet the fate of Rohini", added Acharya, who
had been based in Singapore, where her father underwent a kidney transplant
three years ago.
In another post, she alleged that despite being "a
married woman and a mother", abuses were hurled at her and "a slipper
was picked up to hurl at me" which led her to "leave my home, amid
sobs, abandoning my parents and sisters".
"I have been made an orphan. May no household give
birth to a daughter and a sister with a fate like that of Rohini", she
added.
On Saturday, while boarding a flight for Delhi, Acharya had
hinted before journalists that things turned sour when she 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 andRameez", 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".
"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.
Notably, Zaheer, who is with the Samajwadi Party, is also
currently lodged in a UP jail in connection with a murder case.
However, there has been no immediate response from the RJD
or members of the Yadav family regarding Rohini's allegations.
The RJD performed poorly in the Bihar assembly polls,
securing just 25 seats despite contesting on more than 140 seats in the
243-member state assembly.
Earlier on Saturday, Rohini Acharya announced her intention
to "quit" politics and "disown" her family, taking all
"blame" for the party's poor performance in the polls.
With her "disowning" family, the cracks within
Lalu Yadav's family have widened as her brother Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled
from both the party and family earlier this year following a controversy over
his personal life.
The development has sent shockwaves through Bihar politics, with many speculating about the future of the Lalu family's political dynasty.
