A BJP chief has requested Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya to apologise

New Delhi:

The Bihar BJP on Thursday accused Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav’s Singapore-based daughter Rohini Acharya of insulting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and demanded a public apology from her.

Ms Acharya had used derogatory language in opposition to Mr Kumar, who can be the ruling Janata Dal (United) chief, in a number of posts on X and deleted them later, Bihar BJP chief Nikhil Anand stated.

Sharing a screenshot of the purported deleted posts, Mr Anand stated, “These are like an arrow released from the bow.”

The BJP chief stated if Ms Acharya regretted having used phrases like “badtameez” (ill-mannered) in opposition to the Chief Minister within the posts, she ought to publicly apologise.

Some media studies claimed Ms Acharya had reacted to Mr Kumar’s assertion in opposition to dynastic politics at a JD(U) rally commemorating former Chief Minister and socialist icon Karpoori Thakur’s beginning anniversary on Wednesday. Thakur was conferred with the Bharat Ratna posthumously earlier this week.

While addressing the rally, Mr Kumar criticised dynastic politics, saying the JD(U) adopted the trail proven by Thakur by not selling anybody from their households within the celebration ranks.

The remark was seen aimed on the RJD, an ally of the JD(U) in Bihar’s Mahagathbandhan authorities, during which Lalu Yadav’s sons are ministers.

Lalu Yadav’s youthful son Tejashwi Yadav is the Deputy Chief Minister; the elder son Tej Pratap Yadav is a minister within the state cupboard. The RJD chief’s eldest daughter Misa Bharti is a Rajya Sabha member.

JD(U) chief KC Tyagi right this moment refuted the allegations that Mr Kumar took a swipe at Lalu Yadav.

“Nitish Kumar was addressing a programme organised on the birth anniversary of Karpoori Thakur, whom he has idolised. Like all great socialists, Thakur abhorred dynastic succession in politics. This was the simple fact Nitish Kumar wanted to underscore. Nothing more should be read into it,” Mr Tyagi stated.

“Nitish Kumar has no wish to condemn any regional party or leader,” Mr Tyagi stated. “Those who think a dynasty is essential for the nation, are free to draw their own conclusion,” he added.

Mr Yadav right this moment requested the Chief Minister to satisfy him in what was seen as an try to pacify the alliance companion, sources stated.
