BJP leader Boora Narsaiah Goud on Monday said that family rifts stem from conflicts over power-sharing and large amounts of wealth allegedly amassed through corruption, adding that it is evident in Bihar.
His comments came as a reaction to RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya’s statements recently. Acharya, in her comments, levelled allegations of mistreatment against her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav.
Talking about dynastic politics, he said, “Dynastic politics is now crumbling as families fight for power, wealth, and status. This is not limited to Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family in Bihar. The rift between families is primarily due to power sharing and the vast wealth acquired through corrupt means… And that is what has happened in Bihar.”
Acharya, in a series of posts on X, allegedly directed at Tejashwi Yadav and his close aides, RJD MP Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, who is from a political family in Uttar Pradesh, expressed her anguish after an ugly fallout with Tejashwi Yadav.
As per media reports, Acharya is being blamed for the RJD’s defeat in the recently concluded elections by her family.
In her posts, she wrote, “I don’t have a family anymore. Go ask Sanjay, Rameez, and Tejashwi Yadav. They have thrown me out of the family because they don’t want to take responsibility. People who want to be Chanakya will be the ones questions will be asked of. When a party worker is asking questions of Chanakya… the world is asking how the party ended up in such a situation (in the Bihar polls).”
“When you take Sanjay and Rameez’s name, however, you are thrown out of the house, you are defamed, and you are attacked with slippers,” she alleged.
“Yesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, and a mother was humiliated; filthy abuses were hurled at her, and a slipper was raised. 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,” she wrote in Hindi.
Meanwhile, this is not the first instance where a family member has washed dirty linen in public. Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav also left his family’s political party and formed his own outfit, the Janshakti Janata Dal party.
RJD encountered a bruising defeat in the recently concluded Bihar polls on November 14, 2025. The party witnessed a sharp downfall as its tally fell to 25 from 75 in the recent elections. Congress, its key partner in the state, performed badly, winning only six of the 61 seats it contested, compared to 19 last time.
