Yadav, announced on Saturday that she was quitting politics and severing ties with her family. Her announcement came just a day after the Mahagathbandhan’s severe loss in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025.
In a post on X, Rohini said she had been told to quit politics and “disown” her own family by Sanjay Yadav and Rameez. “I’m quitting politics and I’m disowning my family… This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked me to do, and I’m taking all the blame,” she wrote, triggering shock and speculation within political circles.
NDA Registers Record-Breaking Victory in Bihar
The dramatic announcement follows the NDA’s historic sweep in Bihar. The BJP, Janata Dal (United) and regional allies delivered their strongest-ever performance, securing 202 of the 243 seats. The BJP won 89 seats, while the JD(U) bagged 85—an impressive tally for both parties, which contested 101 seats each.
Mahagathbandhan Suffers Humiliating Collapse
For the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, the results were disastrous. Once the single largest party in 2020 with 75 seats, the RJD collapsed to just 26 of the 141 seats it contested. The Congress fared no better, winning only 6 of its 61 seats.
The alliance, which expected a much closer contest, instead recorded one of its weakest showings in recent history. Analysts have described it as an “over-performance” by the NDA and a complete breakdown of the Opposition’s strategy.
