Acharya, daughter of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and sister of Tejashwi Yadav, on Saturday announced that she is ‘quitting politics and disowning her family’, a day after the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan defeat in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Rohini Acharya stated that she is quitting politics and disowning her family because she had been "asked" to do so by Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, and that she was therefore "taking all the blame."
“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,” Acharya wrote. According to a PTI report, she was "unhappy" over the expulsion of elder son of Prasad, from RJD. Earlier, Acharya was in the news for donating a kidney to his father a few years ago.

NDA’s Landslide Victory Crushes Mahagathbandhan
The Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on November 14 achieved a landslide victory in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025. The NDA secured a sweeping majority by winning 202 out of 243 seats as the high-stakes poll results were announced on Friday.
Of the NDA's 202 seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 89 seats while its ally, Janata Dal United (JDU), won 85, and both contested 101 seats each.
In contrast, the Mahagathbandhan led by RJD and Congress suffered a humiliating defeat, securing only 35 seats in the Bihar Assembly election.
On the Mahagathbandhan side, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which was the single largest party in the 2020 election with 75 seats, was reduced to winning only 25 of the 143 seats it contested this time, while the Congress, which had won 19 seats in 2020, secured a mere 6 of the 61 seats it contested.
