With RJD confirming a ticket to party chief Lalu Prasad’s daughter Rohini Acharya from Saran for LS polls, Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary triggered a controversy Thursday over his remark that the RJD chief is “giving ticket to his daughter in lieu of kidney she gave to her father”.

RJD national spokesperson Subodh Kumar Mehta said: “Despite becoming deputy CM, Samrat Choudhary has not learned decorum of language. His remarks are uncouth and insensitive. Politically, BJP’s sense of desperation comes from the fact it has no answer to RJD offering LS tickets to seven OBC Kushwaha”.

Acharya, based in Singapore, posted Friday on X in Hindi: “I am Laluji’s daughter… Giving my one kidney to my father is my duty and my love for him. Rohini is ready to sacrifice her life for her family and for land of her birth Bihar.” Referring to Lalu’s kidney transplant in December 2022, Choudhary had said: “Lalu Prasad has been a master in art of selling ticket. He has not spared even his daughter. He took her kidney and gave ticket to her in lieu of it.”
