The controversy that broke out in Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family has now become a big issue in Bihar politics. Rohini Acharya’s decision to distance herself from politics and stay away from her family has not only increased the problems for RJD but has also made the entire political environment tense. As the matter is coming out, leaders from opposition to NDA are giving their reactions.
BJP’s direct attack on the family
BJP has attacked the controversy. The party taunted through social media and said that the people of Bihar saved themselves from “Jungle Raj” by keeping RJD away from power. BJP raised the question, ‘If the families in which such situations arise with daughters-in-law were running the government, then what would have happened to the women of Bihar?’ This statement further increased the political heat. It was written from the official X handle of BJP – ‘The people of Bihar saved us from Jungle Raj by not electing RJD! In a family where daughters-in-law are held by the hair and beaten with slippers, imagine… if these people had come to power, how would they have treated the sisters and daughters of Bihar…’

Chirag Paswan expressed condolences
LJP (Ram Vilas) National President Chirag Paswan, looking at the controversy from a human aspect, said that Rohini’s pain can be understood. He said, ‘Rohini is also like my sister. If there is tension in the family, the pain becomes deeper. It is wrong to believe that the daughter’s house is just her in-laws’ house. I can understand the pain that Rohini is feeling. Hopefully, the situation will improve soon.
