Rohini Acharya Exits RJD, Alleges Abuse and Family Betrayal

Rohini Acharya, a former candidate for the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has made serious allegations against her family and the party following her resignation from politics. In a powerful social media statement on November 16, 2025, just a day after announcing her departure from the RJD, Acharya described experiencing verbal abuse and threats of physical violence from those within her father’s political party.

In her post on X, Acharya expressed deep distress over the treatment she received, stating, “Yesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was humiliated. Filthy abuses were hurled at her, and a slipper was raised to hit her.” She emphasized that her refusal to compromise her self-respect led to this humiliation. Acharya’s remarks have sparked widespread attention, highlighting the internal conflicts within the RJD.

Claims of Family Betrayal and Abuse

Acharya’s announcement came as a shock to RJD members, especially following the party’s significant defeat in the recent Bihar Assembly elections. She claimed that her decision was influenced by party members, specifically naming Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Yadav, and Rameez, stating that they were responsible for her exit. “I’m quitting politics and I’m disowning my family… This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked me to do… and I’m taking all the blame,” she wrote.

In her statements, Acharya reflected on the emotional toll of her departure, noting she left behind “crying parents and sisters.” She described feeling abandoned, asserting, “They tore me away from my maternal home… They left me orphaned.” Her allegations included severe accusations, such as being blamed for her father’s kidney transplant, which she claimed was misrepresented as a financial transaction. “Yesterday, I was cursed and told I am dirty, that I got my father to have my dirty kidney transplanted into him,” she stated.

Reactions and Impact on RJD

Acharya’s statements have not only drawn attention to her personal struggles but have also raised questions about the leadership and accountability within the RJD. Speaking to reporters at Patna airport, she reiterated her criticisms, urging the public to inquire about the party’s failures. “You should ask Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Yadav, and Rameez. They are the ones who threw me out. They do not want to take any responsibility,” she said.

The fallout from her resignation and allegations could have significant implications for the RJD as it navigates the aftermath of its electoral defeat. Acharya’s experiences resonate with many who have faced similar situations within political families, potentially influencing public perception of the party’s internal dynamics.

As the political landscape in Bihar continues to evolve, the full impact of Rohini Acharya’s revelations remains to be seen. Her bold stance against alleged mistreatment serves as a reminder of the complex relationships that often exist in political families and the struggles individuals face when confronting such challenges.
