Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini slams BJP amid ‘dancer’ remark row

A clip had purportedly showed Samrat Chaudhary saying that the Mahagathbandhan had to field a “nachne wala”, an apparent reference to RJD’s Khesari Lal Yadav.

Reacting to Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary’s alleged “dancer” remark aimed at RJD candidate Khesari Lal Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya launched a scathing attack on the BJP.
Rohini Acharya hit out at the BJP, naming leaders such as Hema Malini, and Kangana Ranaut, among others. She also figured leaders like Ravi Kishen Manoj Tiwari
and questioned whether the BJP too was relying on “dancers” to draw crowds.

“They call others dancers, but in their own party, the NDA is bringing around dancers to gather crowds. Don’t the dancers feel ashamed? Their faces are being horded to converge crowds… Are they dancers in reality? They are artists.
Adding that they too have contributed to India. All the actors have contributed. So many good films are made.
She also objected to the purported use of the word ‘nachaniya’ for Khesari Lal, by Samrat Chaudhary. “Can someone call an artist, a ‘nachaniya’?… This is the language they use. They are using the same ‘nachaniya’ to gather crowds because no one is coming to listen to their election speeches.

Reportedly, Rohini’s Acharya’s remarks came after she was asked by the media over .a remark made by Bihar’s Deputy CM against RJD’s Khesari Lal Yadav. A clip purportedly displaying Samrat Chaudhary saying that the Mahagathbandhan had to field a “nachne wala” (the one who dances), an apparent reference to Khesari Lal Yadav, had surfaced on social media a few days back.
RJD’s Shatrughan Kumar Yadav alias Khesari Lal Yadav is Mahagathbandhan’s candidate for the Bihar Assembly elections, from the Chapra constituency. He is a widely known singer and actor in the Bhojpuri cinema and joined the RJD in the presence of Tejashwi Yadav on October 16.

Since 2019, the Chapra seat has been a BJP stronghold and the party has fielded
Choti Kumari from there this time. Besides, Rakhi Gupta, a popular figure in Chapra, is contesting the assembly polls as a rebel candidate.
Row over Rahul Gandhi’s ‘dance’ remark at PM Modi
Notably, Rohini Acharya’s attack on the BJP followed Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on PM Modi amidst his speech in poll-bound Bihar.

Rahul Gandhi had said “Tell PM Modi
at a rally, we’ll vote for you if you dance,’ and he’ll break into the act without a second thought…Forget that Nitish Kumar runs this state — it’s the BJP pulling strings from afar, with zero regard for Bihar’s people,” Gandhi had said in Bihar’s Darbhanga.

The BJP reportedly  raised objection with Rahul Gandhi’s remarks and filed a complaint with the Bihar Chief Election Officer (CEO), calling the statements against PM Modi “highly derogatory, indecent, and personal”.

Elections to the 243-seat Bihar Assembly are set to take place in two phases – November 6 and 11, and results will be declared on November 14.
