Rohini Acharya Education:
Rohini Acharya, the daughter of the prominent Bihar politician and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief, Lalu Prasad Yadav, is making headlines as she steps into politics. Prepared to contest the Lok Sabha elections from the Saran constituency in Bihar, Rohini has announced the launch of her outreach campaign starting April 2.
Rohini, a learned and professional woman, visited the Harihar Nath temple with her father Lalu Yadav, mother Rabri Devi, and sister Misa Bharti to seek divine blessings before commencing her campaign. Let's delve into some intriguing facts about her.
Professionally a Doctor, Lalu Yadav’s Younger Daughter
Rohini Acharya might be entering politics, but by profession, she’s a doctor. When her father fell ill in 2022, she donated a kidney, granting him a new lease on life. Born and educated in Patna, Rohini went on to earn her MBBS degree from the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences in Jamshedpur, where her elder sister, Misa Bharti, also completed her medical studies.
Married Since 2002, Rohini Acharya
Since achieving her medical degree, Rohini decided to venture into politics. She married Samresh Singh, a software engineer working in America at the time, in 2002. After marriage, Rohini lived in Singapore for many years, only recently returning to Bihar to run for election.
On Her Political Debut, Rohini Acharya Says
In an exclusive conversation with Aaj Tak, Rohini, with a smile, shared that she is ready to make a change from Singapore to the grounds of Saran, confident that the people will support her. She believes the Saran locals are entirely ready for change and assured that women, sisters, and elders are all on her side, praising the worship at Harihar Nath temple.
Saran Seat, Previously Contested by Lalu Yadav
It's worth noting that the BJP has re-nominated their current MP and veteran leader, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, for the Saran seat. The seat, influenced by the Lalu family, saw Lalu Yadav win in 1977. He defeated Rudy and won the seat again in 2004 and 2009. Ever since Rajiv Pratap Rudy has maintained his stronghold in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
