RJD Internal Rift Widens as Tejashwi Yadav Appointed Working President, Sister Rohini Acharya Criticizes Leadership

Following Tejashwi Yadav's appointment as the National Working President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) at the party's national executive meeting in Patna, internal family and party disputes have intensified. Lalu Yadav's daughter, Rohini Acharya, has openly criticized Tejashwi and the party leadership through a series of posts on X, a stance supported by her brother Tej Pratap Yadav. In contrast, Misa Bharti congratulated Tejashwi on his new role. The meeting was attended by senior leaders, including Lalu Yadav. Rohini Acharya questioned the party's current state and alleged that the reins have fallen into the hands of infiltrators aiming to dismantle 'Laluism,' implying Tejashwi has become a 'puppet.' Tej Pratap echoed his sister's sentiments, urging Tejashwi to fulfill his responsibilities. Misa Bharti, however, expressed her congratulations and confidence in Tejashwi's leadership, stating the party now has a president and a working president. The developments highlight a significant division within the Yadav family and the RJD following the election results.
