PATNA: Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD president Lalu Prasad, slammed a journalist who suggested that ‘married daughters should not spend much time at their parents’ home.In a video shared by Acharya on social media, she can be heard in a hoarse voice purportedly asking the journalist to clarify his remarks.
When he replied that married daughters should remain at their own homes, she challenged the statement, asking how anyone could define “a lot of time” and pointed out that she visits her parents only when called. Acharya, who recently underwent criticism for donating a kidney to her ailing father, also condemned those accusing her of exchanging the organ for money or political gain.Following the RJD’s poll debacle, Acharya on Sunday alleged that she has been “sworn at” and accused of extracting “crores of rupees and a party ticket” in exchange for a “filthy kidney” that she gave to her ailing father. She has also claimed that she had been “driven out” of her parents’ home by the cohorts of her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav.“Those people who want to do something in the name of Lalu Ji should stop pretending to show false sympathy. They should come forward for donating their kidneys to those millions of poor people who are counting their last breaths in hospitals and need kidneys donate their kidneys in the name of Lalu Ji,” Acharya said in a post on X.Also Read | ‘Can’t donate a bottle of blood’: Rohini attacks Tejashwi’s ‘dirty kidney’ remark; slams ‘Haryanvi Mahapurush’The 47-year-old added, “Those who dare to call a married daughter who donates a kidney to her father wrong should muster the guts to have an open debate with that daughter on an open platform”.Those who call a daughter’s kidney “filthy” should be the first to start the great act of donating kidneys to the needy, she said.“The Haryanvi Mahapurush should do it, sycophant journalists should do it, and the Haryanvi devotees and troll followers who never tire of abusing me should do it,” she said in the post.The “Haryanavi” jibe was apparently aimed at Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav.“Those whose blood dries up at the mere mention of donating a bottle of blood, give sermons on donating kidneys?” she asked.In her outbursts, Acharya has also been targeting another close aide of her brother, Rameez, who is said to be a son-in-law of Rizwan Zaheer, a Samajwadi Party leader and a former MP from Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh.
