Who Are Sanjay Yadav and Rameez?
According to PTI, the Sanjay Yadav mentioned in Acharya’s post is a close aide of her brother, Tejashwi Yadav, who was the RJD alliance’s chief ministerial face. Born in Haryana in 1984, Sanjay Yadav joined the RJD in 2012 and was sent to the Rajya Sabha by the party in 2024.

Acharya, who donated a kidney to her father in 2022, had previously contested the Saran Lok Sabha seat unsuccessfully last year.
Speculation had been rife that she was “unhappy” over the expulsion of her elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, from the RJD. Despite this, she was actively seen campaigning for Tejashwi Yadav during the recent assembly elections.
