PATNA--------------------------A direct family conflict has now surfaced within the RJD. Attacks on Sanjay Yadav, Rajya Sabha MP and considered Tejashwi Yadav's closest advisor, have intensified from within the Lalu family. Tej Pratap Yadav has already called him "Jaychand," and now Lalu Yadav's daughter and former Lok Sabha candidate, Rohini Acharya, has also opened a front.

Sanjay Yadav, a resident of Mahendragarh district in Haryana, plays a key role in organizational decisions within the RJD. According to party sources, his opinion is given priority in both small and large decisions. This is why he is called Tejashwi Yadav's "strategic advisor" and "mastermind behind the scenes."

But growing resentment within the family is now coming to the fore. Tej Pratap Yadav has long been targeting him, and now Rohini Acharya has also opened a front against him with a scathing comment on social media.

On the morning of September 18th, Rohini Acharya shared a Facebook post, amplifying a comment written by Alok Kumar of Patna. It directly accused Sanjay Yadav of occupying the "front seat," which always belongs to the top leader, during Tejashwi Yadav's Bihar Adhikar Yatra.

"The front seat is always reserved for the top leader. It is inappropriate for anyone else to occupy that seat even in his absence. It's a different matter if someone considers themselves above the top leadership. The people and workers of Bihar are accustomed to seeing Lalu Prasad Yadav or Tejashwi Yadav occupying that seat, not anyone else."

This isn't the first time in RJD politics that there has been a conflict between the family and outside advisors. But this time, the issue has reached directly into the Lalu family's daughters.

Tej Pratap Yadav has already labeled Sanjay Yadav "Jaychand." Misa Bharti also maintains a political distance from him. And now Rohini Acharya's attack appears to be intensifying this tension.

This growing resentment within the family regarding Sanjay Yadav highlights the struggle for leadership acceptance and power balance within the RJD. While Tejashwi Yadav expresses complete trust in Sanjay Yadav, other members of the Lalu family have come to view him as too powerful within the party.
