Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya kicked off her election campaign on Tuesday with a road show. Though no official announcement has been made as yet, it is understood that she will be the RJD’s candidate from the Saran Lok Sabha seat, contesting against sitting BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
Ms. Acharya is the second daughter and the fourth of the nine children of Mr. Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi — both former Chief Ministers — to enter the political arena. “After taking the blessing of my parents, now I am going to the people’s door,” she posted on X.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary had accused Mr. Yadav of selling the Lok Sabha ticket to his daughter in lieu of her donation of a kidney to him.
