Rohini Acharya, daughter of former Bihar chief ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, is gearing up to step into the political arena, potentially marking her electoral debut in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Speculations arose after a social media post by RJD MLC Sunil Kumar Singh based in Singapore, hinted at Acharya's imminent entry into politics. Singh's Facebook post lauded Acharya stating “Dr Rohini Acharya symbolises love, devotion and dedication to her father,” Singh wrote in a Facebook post, referring to Acharya donating one of her kidneys to Lalu Prasad Yadav. 

“All party functionaries from the Saran area want her to be named the Lok Sabha candidate from Saran,” the post further stated.

The Saran seat is currently held by Rajiv Pratap Rudy of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the 2019 general elections, the party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 39 out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats.

While Acharya, a vocal critic of prime minister Narendra Modi and the Centre's BJP government, is yet to react to such reports. If Acharya joins politics, she will be the fourth child of the two former chief ministers to do so. Besides Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav is an ex-minister, while Dr Misa Bharti is a Rajya Sabha MP.
