BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on March 22 accused Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad of selling the Lok Sabha ticket to his daughter Rohini Acharya in lieu of donating a kidney.
His statement came after a strong buzz that Ms. Acharya is getting the Lok Sabha ticket from Saran. Ms. Acharya, the second daughter of Mr. Prasad, donated kidney to her ailing father and the kidney transplant was carried out on December 5, 2022 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, where she resides.
Reacting to the speculation of Ms. Acharya contesting the Lok Sabha poll from Saran, Mr. Choudhary said, “Lalu Prasad ji is master in selling tickets and he did not spare his daughter as well. Pahle kidney liye, phir ticket diye [first he took the kidney, then he gave ticket]. This is the identity of Lalu Prasad ji.”
