Lalu Prasad Yadav Family Tree: 7 daughters, 2 sons, and a sprawling influence on Bihar — Explained

Lalu Prasad Yadav family tree: The family of RJD supremo and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav has for the longest time been at the centre of the state’s politics, but has come to the limelight after the public feud.

Shortly after the Bihar election results last week, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi’s daughter Rohini Acharya said she was distancing herself from politics as well as her family, levelling abuse charges against her brother Tejashwi Yadav. Before that, the RJD expelled Tej Pratap Yadav over his social media post on an alleged extramarital affair.

Not just Rohini, Tej Pratap and Tejashwi, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, who married in 1973, have nine children — seven daughters and two sons. The couple’s children have carved an identity for themselves, inside and out of politics, making them one of the most powerful political families of Bihar.
