Rohini Acharya was reportedly upset with the interference of Sanjay Yadav, a close associate of Tejashwi Yadav, in the party. On September 18, she also targeted Sanjay Yadav, who has become Tejashwi's shadow, on social media.
She wrote, "The front seat is always for the top leader, and no one should occupy that seat even in his absence. If someone considers themselves above the top leadership, that's a different matter."

Following Rohini's allegations, Sanjay Yadav, RJD MP and close aide of Tejashwi Yadav, responded. He said that we all understand Rohini Didi's statement and the party is completely united. There is no misunderstanding or disagreement of any kind.
Analysts believe that Rohini Acharya's move highlights internal disagreements and power struggles within the RJD. However, the party leadership has dismissed it as a personal decision and has attempted to maintain unity within the entire organization.
