With yet another cryptic social media post on Thursday (December 11, 2025), Rohini Acharya, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad’s Singapore-based daughter, has thrown the spotlight on talk of a widening rift within the family.
“Giving ₹10,000 or distributing bicycles to girls, even if done with good intentions, is insufficient in addressing systematic issues that hinders women’s empowerment. The first responsibility of a government and society should be to take concrete steps to safeguard women’s equal rights, especially in view of the indifferences in society and family. The deeply entrenched patriarchal mindset in Bihar creates the necessity for comprehensive social and political reforms...” Ms. Acharya said in her post on Thursday (December 11, 2025).
“Every young and adult woman should feel assured that her paternal home is a safe place --- one where she can return without fear, guilt, shame or the need to justify her presence in the household. Ensuring this is not merely an administrative task but an important step towards preventing exploitation and harassment in future”.
In November, soon after the RJD’s poor performance in the Assembly election, Ms. Acharya, 46, in a social media post had said she was “quitting politics and disowning family”. The RJD had only won 25 of the total 243 seats in the election.
