RJD supremo Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav on Tuesday came out in support of his sister Rohini Acharya following her recent public allegations of humiliation by her brother Tejashwi Yadav and the latter’s aide Sanjay Yadav, and also urged the Centre and the Bihar Government to order a probe if his parents were subjected to any form of mental harassment.
The former Bihar minister, who lost the election from the Mahua Assembly seat, voiced his sentiments in support of his sister Rohini Acharya in a social media post, blaming the crisis on ‘Jaichand’, a metaphor for traitors.
He also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Bihar Government to investigate if his parents have been subjected to any form 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’s account.
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.
“My father is already unwell, he absolutely cannot bear such pressure. 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 wrote.
In another post, Yadav wrote, “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.”
“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,” Yadav said.
“I must tell all these Jaichands... If they target our family, people of Bihar will never forgive them,” he added.
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 gave to her ailing father.
A day after having left for Delhi, claiming that she had been “driven out” of her parents’ home by the cohorts of her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav, the 47-year-old shared lurid details of what took place at their place after the party suffered a debacle in the Bihar Assembly polls.
In a couple of posts, Acharya alleged, “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”.
Rohini Slams Critics Over Filthy Kidney Remark, Challenges Debate
Patna: RJD president Lalu Prasad’s daughter Rohini Acharya on Tuesday slammed those who accused her of giving a “filthy kidney” to her ailing father and challenged them to an open debate with her on the issue. She also asked these people to donate their kidneys to millions of patients needing the organ “in the name of Lalu ji”.
Following the RJD’s poll debacle, 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 gave to her ailing father. She has also claimed that she had been “driven out” of her parents’ home by the cohorts of her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav.
“Those people who want to do something in the name of Lalu Ji should stop pretending to show false sympathy. They should come forward to donate their kidneys to the millions of poor people who are counting their last breaths in hospitals and need kidneys. Donate their kidneys in the name of Lalu Ji,” Acharya said in a social media post.
The 47-year-old said, “Those who dare to call a married daughter who donates a kidney to her father wrong should muster the guts to have an open debate with that daughter on an open platform”.
Those who call a daughter’s kidney “filthy” should be the first to start the great act of donating kidneys to the needy, she said.
