Synopsis

Irregularities in ticket distribution, giving tickets in exchange for money, and the collusive politics of flatterers have ignored those pillars who dedicated themselves day and night to build the RJD over the years, he wrote. Today, these same Jaichands, driven by greed and sycophancy, are destroying both the family and the organisation, he said.

Tej Pratap Yadav
Lalu Prasad's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has reached out to Centre and the Bihar government, requesting a probe into whether his parents are being subjected to any form of mental harassment.

The RJD supremo's son has also come out in support of his sister Rohini Acharya, following her public allegations of humiliation by younger brother Tejashwi Yadav and the latter's aide Sanjay Yadav on Tuesday.

A former Bihar minister who lost the election from the Mahua assembly seat, he voiced his concerns in a post on his X handle, pinning the blame for the crisis on "Jaichand," a metaphor for traitors.


He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Bihar government to investigate whether his parents have been subjected to any kind of mental harassment.

"It is being said that some people, Jaichands, are making attempts to keep my parents Lalu Prasad ji and my mother under mental and physical pressure. If there is even a shred of truth in this, then this is not just an attack on my family, it is a direct blow to the very soul of the RJD. I request the PM, Amit Shah ji, and the Bihar government that an impartial, strict, and immediate investigation be conducted in the matter," he said in a social media post shared from his Janshakti Janta Dal account.

Yadav, in a sharply worded post, accused the party of “irregularities in ticket distribution, giving tickets in exchange for money, and the collusive politics of flatterers,” alleging that these practices had sidelined “those pillars who dedicated themselves day and night to build the RJD over the years.”

“Today, these same Jaichands, driven by greed and sycophancy, are destroying both the family and the organisation,” he wrote.

He added that his father “is already unwell” and “absolutely cannot bear such pressure,” urging the government to act if any member of his family had been harmed. “I also request the government that if anyone has misbehaved, pushed or manhandled, hurled filthy abuses, or inflicted mental/physical harassment on my sister, my mother, or my father, then people such as Sanjay Yadav, Rameez Nemat Khan and Pritam Yadav must immediately be booked and FIRs should be registered against them,” he said.

In another post on X, Yadav warned, “I will not tolerate the insult to our sister under any circumstances... Jaichands will have to pay the price for their misdeeds... they will have to face the consequences.” He added, “Whatever has happened with Rohni didi has shaken me. I tolerated whatever happened to me, but I can't tolerate this insult to my sister. It's unacceptable and unbearable.” He further wrote, “I must tell all these Jaichands... If they target our family, people of Bihar will never forgive them.”

Meanwhile, Acharya on Sunday alleged that she has been “sworn at” and accused of extracting “crores of rupees and a party ticket” in exchange for a “filthy kidney” that she donated to her ailing father. A day after leaving for Delhi, claiming she had been “driven out” of her parents' home by “the cohorts” of her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav, the 47-year-old shared graphic details of the alleged confrontation that took place after the RJD’s defeat in the Bihar assembly polls.

In posts on her X handle, she said, “I was sworn at (gandi galiyan di gayi)” and was “accused of having given my filthy (gandi) kidney to my father” in exchange for “crores of rupees and a party ticket.” Acharya, who donated a kidney to Prasad a few years ago and unsuccessfully contested the Saran Lok Sabha seat last year, said she had made the sacrifice “without caring for the approval of my husband and my in-laws or for the well-being of my three children.”

In a pointed swipe at Tejashwi Yadav and Sanjay Yadav, she said, “May all married women, if they have a brother, never take such a step. They should ask their brother to donate his own kidney or that of a Haryanvi friend.”
