The political landscape of Bihar witnessed dramatic family developments as the Yadav clan's internal tensions spilled into public view following the party's electoral setback in the 2025 assembly elections.
Daughters' Departure Signals Deepening Rift
Three daughters of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav were spotted leaving Patna for Delhi on Sunday, November 16, 2025, amid growing family discord. Ragini Yadav, Chanda Yadav, and Raj Lakshmi Yadav, accompanied by their families, were seen at Patna airport boarding a flight to the national capital.
The visual documentation of their departure was captured by news agencies and circulated widely on social media platforms, fueling speculation about the extent of the family rift. Later the same day, another daughter, Hema Yadav, also arrived at Delhi Airport, suggesting a coordinated movement of Lalu's married daughters away from the political epicenter of Patna.
Rohini Acharya's Explosive Allegations
The family drama took an ugly turn when Rohini Acharya, another daughter of Lalu Yadav, made startling allegations about her father's kidney transplant. In an emotional social media post on November 16, 2025, Rohini claimed she was verbally abused and accused of being "dirty" for donating her kidney to her father.
"Yesterday, I was told with abuses that I am dirty and I got my dirty kidney transplanted to my father, took crores of rupees, took ticket then got the dirty kidney transplanted," Rohini wrote in her post. Her message contained a heartfelt warning to married daughters, cautioning them against donating organs to their fathers when there are brothers in the family.
Political Context and Electoral Setback
The family conflict emerges against the backdrop of RJD's performance in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, where the party faced significant setbacks across multiple constituencies. The electoral results, declared recently, have apparently intensified the internal family dynamics and power struggles within the Yadav political dynasty.
Tej Pratap Yadav, one of Lalu's prominent sons, had earlier made a heartfelt appeal to the RJD supremo, attempting to mediate the growing tensions within the family. However, the recent developments indicate that these efforts may not have yielded the desired reconciliation.
The simultaneous departure of multiple daughters from Patna, combined with Rohini's public allegations about the kidney transplant controversy, points to a deepening crisis within one of Bihar's most influential political families. This internal turmoil comes at a critical juncture for the RJD as it regroups following the electoral reversal.
Political observers are closely watching how this family feud will impact the party's future strategy and leadership dynamics, particularly as it attempts to rebuild its political capital in Bihar. The convergence of personal grievances with political fortunes creates a complex challenge for the Yadav family and the RJD organization.
