Rohini Acharya, daughter of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, is campaigning from the Saran Lok Sabha constituency in Bihar ahead of phase 5 of the polls. She is up against BJP’s Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
In an interview to The Hindu during campaigning, Ms. Acharya questioned why the BJP is targeting the RJD for “Parivarvaad” while nobody is asking the same of the BJP itself. She also responded to comments made by deputy CM Samrat Choudhry that she got a ticket only because she donated a kidney to her father; PM Narendra Modi’s comment that Lalu Yadav’s regime was a Jungle Raj; Nitish Kumar’s comments on the lack of jobs in Bihar, and more.
She also spoke of her plans for Saran if she wins the seat.
