The development comes at a time when the RJD is still reeling from the drubbing at the hands of the NDA in the Bihar Assembly elections, where its tally sharply dropped from 75 to 25.
Tej Pratap reacts
Her brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, who his father expelled from the party and family, issued a strong response after Rohini alleged that family members.
Tej Pratap posted through the Janshakti Janata Dal’s social media account that the situation had “shaken [his] heart to the core”. He said he had endured numerous personal attacks, but the humiliation of his sister was “unbearable under any circumstances”.
He warned that the repercussions of this “injustice” would be severe and appealed directly to Lalu Prasad Yadav, saying, “Father, give me a signal just one nod, and the people of Bihar will bury these Jaichands,” reported Hindustan Times.

She further alleged that it was her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his two close aides, Sanjay Yadav, now an RJD Rajya Sabha MP, and Rameez were responsible for the situation.
