About Rohini Acharya
Rohini, who is known for her active presence on social media and her vocal criticism of her parents’ political adversaries, will be making her poll debut in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the Saran Lok Sabha constituency.
During the opposition’s Jan Vishwas Rally held at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan earlier this month, Rohini was spotted on the dais alongside her father, who subsequently introduced her to the gathered crowd.
It is pertinent to mention that Rohini was the one who generously donated one of her kidneys to her father when he underwent kidney transplantation surgery in a Singapore-based hospital back in December 2022. She garnered widespread admiration after selflessly donating one of her kidneys to her ailing father, whose kidney was functioning at only 25 per cent capacity at the time. Her act provided her father with a renewed lease on life, touching the hearts of many.
Saran Lok Sabha seat
Saran constituency, the birthplace of Jay Prakash Narayan, holds significant political importance in Bihar. It has been considered one of the highest-profile parliamentary seats in the state. Lalu Yadav has been elected as the MP from this constituency four times, commencing his parliamentary journey here in 1977. His wife, Rabri Devi, has also contested elections from this seat.
In the 2009 elections, Lalu Yadav emerged victorious from Saran. However, following his conviction in the fodder scam, he was disqualified from contesting elections. Consequently, Rabri Devi contested from this seat in 2014. Despite this, all RJD’s efforts were in vain against the Modi wave, and Rajiv Pratap Rudy secured victory, returning to parliament.
In the 2019 elections, BJP’s Rajiv Pratap Rudy secured victory once again with 4,99,342 votes, while RJD’s Chandrika Rai received 3,60,913 votes. Similarly, in 2014, Rajiv Pratap Rudy defeated RJD’s Rabri Devi with 3,55,120 votes to 3,14,172 votes.
