Bihar’s opposition camp is reeling from RJD’s bold move to install Tejashwi Yadav as national executive president, a decision that’s provoked an all-out assault from BJP and JD(U). At the center is Rohini Acharya’s viral X post, interpreted as a window into the Lalu family’s brewing storm.
Shahnawaz Hussain of BJP wasted no time in framing it as dynastic decay. ‘Lalu’s social justice era drew believers; Tejashwi offers nothing but nepotism,’ he told reporters. The promotion, he said, stems from ‘motherly love and son obsession,’ sidelining true party stalwarts and sparking rebellion.
Rohini’s post—mocking rivals and toasting a ‘sham prince’ under external strings—betrays deep rifts, per Hussain. ‘Workers are deserted; faith is gone. This is RJD’s obituary.’ He ridiculed Tejashwi’s post-election ‘prize,’ forecasting the party’s imminent collapse.
Neeraj Kumar from JD(U) was equally blistering, positing the post equates Lalu to a political invalid and puppet. ‘Family challenging the patriarch? RJD is history,’ he sneered, doubting Tejashwi’s acceptance by masses or members.
With accusations flying thick and fast, RJD’s internal fault lines are exposed, casting long shadows over its role in Bihar politics and hinting at a turbulent path ahead.
