In a recent development in the Bihar politics, Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday was appointed the National Working President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) during the party's executive meeting in Patna.  

Following his appointment, Tejashwi touched his father and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's feet to seek his blessings, as per news agency IANS. 


After Tejashwi Yadav was sworn in as the RJD working president, several senior party leaders welcomed the decision, asserting that the RJD will become even stronger under Tejashwi Yadav's leadership.



Tejashwi’s appointment as RJD working president could be a tactical move

This decision is seen as a critical component of the party's future strategy. This appointment is anticipated to enhance the RJD's influence in Bihar politics moving forward.

On this occasion, the RJD, while taking it to social media X, wrote, "The beginning of a new era. Tejashwi Yadav appointed Working President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal."

Rohini Acharaya takes a dig at RJD

On the other hand, Lalu Yadav's daughter and Tejashwi's sister, Rohini Acharya, took a dig at the appointment, writing in an X post, "The pinnacle of politics, in a way, the grand finale of a man's glorious innings. Congratulations to the sycophants and the 'Infiltrator Gang' on the coronation of the "prince turned puppet in their hands."

Earlier in the day, Rohini Acharya questioned the party's current situation, leadership role, and internal affairs in a post, as per IANS. 

Rohini launched a sharp attack on the party's present leadership, without naming anyone, saying the current condition of the Rashtriya Janata Dal was "dire" and "worrisome" and that those presently at the helm must be held accountable.

In an emotional and strongly worded post on X, Rohini Acharya said that anyone who truly represents "Laluvad" in its real sense would inevitably raise questions about the party's present state and speak out against those responsible, regardless of the consequences.

Lalu Yadav’s daughter and Tejashwi’s sister also alleged that the real control of the party had slipped into the hands of "infiltrators and conspirators", whom she claimed were planted by political opponents with the sole objective of destroying Laluvad, as per IANS. 

She further appealed to party workers and leaders who consider themselves true followers of Lalu Prasad Yadav's ideology to openly oppose such elements.
