Patna: The family of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and former CM Rabri Devi has always dominated Bihar’s political landscape. Once again, the family is in the news—this time due to internal turmoil following the party’s defeat in the Bihar elections and a string of allegations by Lalu’s daughter, Rohini Acharya.
Rohini, who donated a kidney to her father, recently accused her brother Tejashwi Yadav of several misdeeds and left her parental home to return to Singapore. Her outburst has rekindled public curiosity about the extensive and politically influential Lalu family. Here is the full family tree and what each member is known for.

Lalu and Rabri’s firstborn, Dr. Misa Bharti, holds an MBBS degree and has served as an MP from Patna. She is married to software engineer Shailesh Kumar. Her name “Misa” is derived from the controversial MISA Act under which Lalu was jailed during the Emergency.
Rohini Acharya: The Daughter Who Donated a Kidney
The second child, Dr. Rohini Acharya, lives in Singapore and is a medical professional. Married to Samaresh Singh, she gained national attention after donating a kidney to her father. Recently, her explosive statements distancing herself from politics and the family have sparked major political ripples in Bihar.
