A day after announcing she had cut ties with her family and their party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, Rohini Acharya has alleged that she was subjected to humiliation, including abusive language and an attempt to assault her with a slipper.

She said she refused to compromise on her self-respect or abandon the truth, claiming this was the reason she faced such behaviour.

In a post on X, she wrote: “Yesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was humiliated, filthy abuses were hurled at her, a slipper was raised to hit her. I did not compromise on my self-respect, I did not surrender the truth, and solely because of this, I had to endure this insult…Yesterday, a daughter, out of compulsion, left behind her crying parents and sisters and came away; they tore me away from my maternal home… They left me orphaned…May none of you ever walk my path, may no family ever have a daughter-sister like Rohini."

A day after the RJD suffered a major loss in the Bihar Assembly election, finishing the election as the third-largest party with just 25 seats, despite contesting on more than 140 seats, Acharya, on Saturday wrote on X, “I am quitting politics and I am disowning my family…This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked me to do…and I am taking all the blame," she wrote in her post.

Rift in the family

Acharya’s elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, was expelled from both the party and his family earlier this year following a controversy over his personal life. With her “disowning" family, the cracks within Lalu Yadav’s family have widened. His expulsion followed a controversy over a Facebook post in which he claimed to be in a relationship, sparking a public fallout with his family. The incident revived discussions around his past marital issues, including his ongoing divorce case with Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Rai.

Tej Pratap Yadav went on to launch his own party, the Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD) and contested from Mahua Assembly constituency. He faced a major setback, finishing a distant third as Sanjay Kumar Singh of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) secured a thumping victory with 87641 votes and a margin of 44997 votes, while RJD candidate Mukesh Kumar Raushan stood second.
