Bihar Govt Formation 2025: Nitish Kumar Resigns; NDA Moves Toward New Power-Sharing Plan
Tejashwi Yadav Picked as Bihar Opposition Leader as Family Dispute Deepens
Patna, Nov 17, 2025
Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD MLA from Raghopur, has been officially selected as the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, even as his family faces a very public dispute and the party deals with a disappointing election outcome. His appointment was confirmed by ANI, and it marks an important moment for both him and the RJD at a time when the party is trying to rebuild.
According to sources quoted by PTI, Tejashwi is expected to hold a meeting with the newly elected MLAs of his party soon. The goal is to take a close look at what went wrong for the INDIA bloc in the 2025 Bihar elections, where the coalition saw a major defeat. The NDA registered a strong win on November 14, leaving the RJD with only 25 seats out of 143. Party insiders say Tejashwi plans to openly discuss the reasons behind the poor results and map out a clearer direction for the party’s future.
But the political setback is only part of the challenge. The RJD has also been hit by a personal crisis within the Yadav family. Tejashwi’s sister, Rohini Acharya, recently quit the party and announced that she was stepping away from politics altogether. Her posts on X have been emotional and sharp, accusing those close to her of treating her unfairly and leaving her feeling abandoned. She has expressed deep hurt and frustration, making it clear that the issues run beyond political disagreements.
Rohini has also pointed fingers at Tejashwi’s close associates — Sanjay Yadav, an MP from Haryana, and Rameez, who comes from a political family in Uttar Pradesh. She has blamed the two for contributing to the RJD’s disappointing performance in the polls. Her remarks have only intensified the internal tension, giving the party another serious issue to deal with at a time when morale is already low.
The controversy has also opened the door for strong reactions from leaders in the NDA. They have criticised Tejashwi for failing to protect the dignity and well-being of a woman within his own family, questioning how he can promise good governance for Bihar while such disputes unfold in public. These comments are expected to add pressure on the young leader as he tries to balance party affairs and family problems under the spotlight.
Despite all this, Tejashwi’s new role as Leader of the Opposition gives him a chance to regroup, rebuild his party’s confidence, and present a stronger challenge in the future. But to move forward effectively, he will have to address both the political setbacks and the personal tensions that have recently come to light.
Tejashwi Yadav Picked as Bihar Opposition Leader as Family Dispute Deepens
A new chapter begins for Tejashwi Yadav as he steps into the role of Leader of the Opposition in Bihar, even while his party and family navigate a rough patch. His appointment comes at a moment when the RJD is trying to recover from a disappointing election result, and the pressure is higher than ever. With only 25 seats won, the party is now looking inward, trying to understand what went wrong and how to rebuild its strength.
At the same time, a very personal crisis has unfolded within his family. His sister Rohini Acharya’s exit from the party and her emotional public statements have added a heavy layer of tension around the political setback. Accusations, frustrations, and public comments have drawn attention and criticism from the NDA, who are questioning Tejashwi’s leadership at a sensitive moment.
As he prepares to meet with his MLAs and set a fresh direction for the RJD, this moment becomes a test of both resilience and strategy. It is a rare combination of political responsibility and personal challenge arriving at the same time, and how he responds may shape the party’s future for years.
