After that the so-called Haryanvi \u2018mahapurush\u2019, sycophant journalists, and trolling devotees who abuse me day and night should also follow,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Along with her post, Acharya who alleged that she was subjected to humiliation during a confrontation following Mahagathbandhan\u2019s crushing defeat in the Bihar elections, shared a video of her phone conversation with journalist Kanhaiya Bhelari, whom she confronted for allegedly making remarks that \u201cmarried daughters should not stay in their mother\u2019s home for long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">During the heated exchange, Rohini demanded an explanation for his comments and challenged him to justify why married daughters should be restricted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">\u201cWho told you to decide how many hours or days a daughter can stay in her parents\u2019 home? Why don\u2019t you ask instead: how did a married daughter dare to give her father a kidney? You didn\u2019t take responsibility for this daughter. Lalu Yadav did. Don\u2019t lecture me,&#8221; she was heard asking the journalist in the video.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">She also accused Bhelari of twisting facts, dragging her mother Rabri Devi\u2019s name unnecessarily, and hiding behind selective interpretations of cultural norms. When the journalist attempted to clarify, Rohini retorted, \u201cYou don\u2019t have the courage to speak in front of a crowd. Come debate me openly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lalu Yadav Family\u2019s Feud<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">The turmoil inside the RJD family deepened after Lalu\u2019s daughter, Rohini Acharya, in an emotional and sensational allegation-filled outburst on social media, alleged that she was subjected to humiliation, including abusive language, an attempt to assault her with a slipper, and her kidney being called \u201cdirty&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">She said she refused to compromise on her self-respect or abandon the truth, claiming this was the reason she faced such behaviour.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">Rohini was spotted in the national capital on Sunday as she left the home of her sister, Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti. Speaking to reporters, she said she stood by every word she had posted on social media.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">\u201cYesterday, a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was humiliated, filthy abuses were hurled at her, a slipper was raised to hit her. I did not compromise on my self-respect, I did not surrender the truth, and solely because of this, I had to endure this insult\u2026Yesterday, a daughter, out of compulsion, left behind her crying parents and sisters and came away; they tore me away from my maternal home\u2026 They left me orphaned\u2026May none of you ever walk my path, may no family ever have a daughter-sister like Rohini,&#8221; she said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">While referring to RJD\u2019s debacle in the Bihar Assembly election results, Rohini said that anyone who questions them about taking responsibility for the party\u2019s defeat in the Bihar election would be treated the same way she has been, as they are unwilling to accept accountability.<\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">Rohini, who donated a kidney to her father in 2022, said she was subjected to \u201cfilthy abuses&#8221; during a confrontation involving two of Tejashwi Yadav\u2019s closest aides \u2014 RJD Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav and long-time associate Rameez. She accused them of maligning her by claiming she had \u201ctaken crores&#8221; from the family after the kidney donation, calling it an \u201cinsult beyond forgiveness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\">She further alleged that merely taking the names of Sanjay and Rameez could provoke retaliation. \u201cIf Sanjay and Rameez\u2019s names are mentioned, they will throw you out of the house, make people insult you, and even hit you with a slipper,&#8221; she claimed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\">Tejashwi Yadav, whose leadership and choice of advisers have come under fire since the defeat, has stayed largely out of public view.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Shobhit Gupta\" title=\"Shobhit Gupta\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
