‘Beti ho toh Rohini jaisi’: BJP’s Giriraj Singh praises Lalu Yadav’s daughter for donating kidney to her father
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Monday (December 5, 2022) heaped praise on Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya for donating one of her kidneys to her septuagenarian ailing father. Lalu underwent a successful kidney transplant surgery in Singapore on Monday and is currently conscious and responding.
“Beti ho toh Rohini jaisi. I’m proud of you. You will be an example for generations to come,” Singh said in a tweet.
Earlier on Monday, Prasad’s son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav shared a short video clip of him being taken out of the operation theatre.
“Papa has been shifted from the operation theatre to the ICU, after a successful kidney transplant. Both our national president and elder sister and donor Rohini Acharya are fine,” he tweeted.
“Sincere thanks to all of you for your prayers and good wishes,” added Yadav, who is by the side of his father along with mother Rabri Devi, an ex-CM, and eldest sister Misa Bharti, who is a Rajya Sabha member.
Bharti also posted a video of her recuperating father, raising a bandaged arm to wave at the camera, on her Twitter handle.
“It was a moment of big relief for us when we got a chance to meet papa in the ICU. He is waving at supporters in acknowledgment of their wishes and prayers,” she said.
The former Bihar CM, who is serving sentences in a number of fodder scam cases, has been granted bail by the court on medical grounds.
