Patna: Bihar politics saw a day of contrasting moves on Friday, as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar embarked on his ‘Samriddhi Yatra’, while opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav convened a core committee meeting of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) at his official residence.
Amid the political manoeuvring, Rohini Acharya, who has distanced herself from the RJD and the Lalu Prasad family, issued a pointed critique of the party leadership on X (formerly Twitter), without naming individuals directly. She described the opposition leader’s meeting as a “show”, urging leaders to focus on “self-reflection” and accountability.
समीक्षा का दिखावा करने से ज्यादा जरूरी ‘खुद’ आत्म – मंथन ‘ करने और जिम्मेदारी लेने की है , ‘अपने’ इर्द – गिर्द कब्ज़ा जमाए बैठे चिन्हित ‘गिद्धों’ को ठिकाने लगाने का साहस दिखाने के बाद ही किसी भी प्रकार की समीक्षा की सार्थकता साबित होगी…
बाकी तो ये जो पब्लिक है न , वो सब जानती…

“More important than pretending to conduct a review is ‘self-reflection’ and taking responsibility,” Acharya wrote. “Any review will only be meaningful after showing the courage to deal with the identified ‘vultures’ who have taken control around ‘him’. This public, you know, they know and understand everything.”
Acharya has previously stirred political debate. On January 10, she wrote that a “great legacy” could be destroyed not by outsiders but by “your own” and a few “newly made relatives” acting with ill intent. She added: “It is surprising when those who owe their identity and existence to someone are themselves bent on erasing it, misled by ego and clouded conscience. Then the destroyer becomes the eyes, nose, and ears, and steals away wisdom and intellect.”
बड़ी शिद्दत से बनायी और खड़ी की गयी “बड़ी विरासत” को तहस – नहस करने के लिए परायों की जरूरत नहीं होती, “अपने” और अपनों के चंद षड्यंत्रकारी “नए बने अपने” ही काफी होते हैं ..
हैरानी तो तब होती है , जब “जिसकी” वजह से पहचान होती है , जिसकी वजह से वजूद होता है , उस पहचान, उस वजूद के…

Her posts have been interpreted by observers as a critique of Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership and the influence of close aides within the party, highlighting ongoing tensions within Bihar’s opposition ranks.
