Patna’s 10 Circular Road, the political nerve centre of the Yadav family, witnessed an unusually tense atmosphere after the election results were announced. According to family sources, the defeat left the entire household in a sombre mood as key members gathered to reflect on what went wrong.
Inside the residence were Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and his wife Rachel, Rohini Acharya, Ragini Yadav, and Rajlakshmi. The family, usually known for its strong public image, found itself grappling with internal unease.
Ragini Yadav Opens Discussion on Party Setback
Sources reveal that Ragini Yadav initiated the conversation about the party’s disappointing performance. She questioned the internal decision-making process and pointed fingers—without naming directly—at those who, according to her, were “running the party as per their own interests.”
Her remark, which many interpreted as a reference to Tejashwi’s close aide Sanjay Yadav, immediately stirred discomfort in the room.
Tejashwi Reacts Sharply, Confrontation Follows
Tejashwi Yadav, already under pressure following the electoral setback, reacted strongly to Ragini’s comments. The situation escalated when Rohini Acharya supported Ragini’s concern and asked her brother a direct question:
“Why do you take it personally whenever someone raises questions about Sanjay Yadav?”
This remark reportedly triggered an intense argument, with Tejashwi raising his voice and accusing Rohini of acting out of personal motives. According to sources, the exchange turned emotional and touched sensitive topics, including Rohini’s kidney donation—an issue the family rarely discusses in public.
Emotional Scenes in Front of Lalu and Rabri
The argument intensified to the point where other sisters had to intervene to prevent the situation from worsening. Rabri Devi, standing beside Lalu Prasad Yadav, repeatedly tried to calm Tejashwi down. Both parents were visibly emotional as the confrontation unfolded in front of them.
Despite their efforts, the disagreement did not ease. The atmosphere grew heavier with every passing moment.
Rohini Acharya Walks Out
Unable to continue the heated exchange, Rohini Acharya eventually left the house in frustration, family members confirmed. Her exit added another layer of concern within the household already shaken by the election defeat.
Sources suggest that what unfolded on Sunday may be only a fraction of the actual events. More discussions—and possibly more conflict—are expected to surface in the coming days.
A Sign of Deeper Fault Lines?
While political disagreements are not new within prominent families, the timing and intensity of this confrontation highlight deeper concerns within the RJD’s core leadership structure. With elections now behind them, the Yadav family may face a more complicated internal battle—one that could shape the party’s future direction.
For now, what is clear is that the storm at 10 Circular Road has left its mark, one that may take time to settle.
