New Delhi: After the defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections, Lalu Prasad Yadav's family has been shaken.

Rohini Acharya, Lalu's daughter who donated a kidney, has announced her retirement from politics and has also severed ties with the family.

She has cited RJD Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Yadav and Rameez as the reasons for this. Rohini has written that these two people urged her to do so. Lalu's son Tej Pratap Yadav has also previously leveled serious allegations against Sanjay Yadav, often calling him "Jaichand."

Sanjay is considered Tejashwi's right-hand man, and the two have had a good friendship for many years. Sanjay Yadav's name has also been mentioned behind many important decisions related to Tejashwi and the RJD.

Who is Sanjay Yadav, and how did he meet Tejashwi?

Tejashwi's close friend and RJD MP Sanjay Yadav hails from Mahendragarh, Haryana. Born on February 24, 1984, Sanjay has been with Tejashwi for over a decade and gradually became one of the most prominent names in the RJD, after the Lalu family.

Yadav was born in Nangal Sirohi village in Mahendragarh. His father's name is Prabhati Lal and his mother's name is Basanti Devi. Sanjay holds an MSc and MBA in Computer Science. After this, he worked in three MNC companies in Delhi.

He is also very interested in data analysis and analyzing the political and social dynamics of the state. It is said that Sanjay Yadav first met Tejashwi in Delhi, and their friendship grew from there.

Who is Rameez, whom Rohini named?
In the post Rohini Acharya posted on Instagram announcing her retirement from politics, she said, "I am leaving politics and breaking ties with my family. Sanjay Yadav and Rameez urged me to do this." And I'm taking all the blame on myself." The Rameez Rohini mentioned belongs to a political family in Uttar Pradesh.

He is also considered a good friend of Tejashwi. According to media reports, Rameez is a resident of Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, and is related to the family of former MP Rizwan Zaheer.

Tej Pratap Yadav, who was expelled from his family and party, continues to call Sanjay Yadav 'Jaychand'. Recently, in a video, Tej, without naming Sanjay Yadav, went viral on social media.

He often makes sarcastic remarks, saying that RJD is surrounded by Jaichands. Even after the crushing defeat in the Bihar elections, he called his brother Tejashwi a failure and lavished praise on PM Modi and Amit Shah.

In a Facebook post, Tej Pratap, without naming Sanjay Yadav, said, "This is a crushing defeat for the Jaichands... The truth is harsh. These Jaichands have hollowed out and ruined the RJD. That's why Tejashwi has failed today."
