Rameez is said to be Tejashwi\u2019s old friend who hails from a political family in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The RJD\u2019s seat tally slipped to 24 from 75 in the Bihar assembly polls. Acharya had unsuccessfully contested last year\u2019s Lok Sabha polls from Saran. It was speculated that she was \u201cunhappy&#8221; over the expulsion of Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of Prasad, from the party. However, during the assembly elections, she was seen campaigning for Tejashwi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019m quitting politics and I\u2019m disowning my family \u2026This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked me to do \u2026nd I\u2019m taking all the blame\u2019s\u2014 Rohini Acharya (@RohiniAcharya2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RohiniAcharya2\/status\/1989622444865589333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">November 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why not Yadav?
