RJD’s Inner Turmoil Deepens as 3 More of Lalu Yadav’s Daughters Leave Patna Home

The Rashtriya Janata Dal is in the grip of an unprecedented family crisis, one that escalated sharply on Sunday when three more daughters of party chief Lalu Prasad Yadav - Rajlakshmi, Ragini and Chanda - quietly left the family's Patna residence. Accompanied by their children, the trio was spotted at Patna airport before boarding a flight to Delhi, adding a new layer of uncertainty to the already tense political and personal situation.

Their departure comes barely 24 hours after their sister Rohini Acharya dramatically announced her decision to quit politics and "disown" her own family. Rohini's exit followed the RJD's disappointing performance in the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls, in which the party managed just 25 seats.

Rohini's Emotional Outburst

A doctor by profession and the daughter who once donated a kidney to Lalu Prasad, Rohini took to X on Sunday to share a flurry of anguished posts. She alleged deep humiliation within the family and accused her brother Tejashwi Yadav of sidelining her and destroying her dignity.

In posts that read like confessions of pain, Rohini said she had been made to feel like an "orphan" despite everything she had done for the family. She lamented that even her kidney donation was now being mocked as "dirty."

Rohini, who contested - and lost - the 2024 Saran Lok Sabha seat, claimed she had committed a "huge sin" by not protecting her own family and her three children amid the storm of politics.

A Daughter's Cry of Betrayal

Detailing the alleged abuse she faced, Rohini 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... 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."

Her words have triggered a fresh wave of speculation within political circles: Is the family itself fracturing publicly? And what does this mean for the RJD at a time when it is already reeling from electoral setbacks?

A Party Under Strain, A Family Under Fire

The sudden departure of Lalu Yadav's three daughters - so soon after Rohini's explosive allegations - suggests deeper fissures than previously imagined. What began as post-poll disappointment has now spiralled into a full-scale family implosion, spilling beyond private walls and into the public domain.

For the RJD, the crisis comes at a delicate moment. For the Yadav family, it raises stark questions about unity, trust, and the emotional cost of political power.
