Patna: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's kidney transplant was successfully carried out at a hospital in Singapore. Lalu's second daughter Rohini Acharya donated one of her kidneys to her father.
Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav who is accompanying Lalu along with his mother Rabi Devi and elder sister Misa Bharti confirmed that the surgery was successful. “Papa's kidney transplant was successfully carried out and he has been shifted from the ICU to the operation theatre. My elder sister and donor Rohini Acharya and my father both are fine. Thank you all for the prayers," Tejashwi said in a WhatsApp message.
Ahead of the kidney transplant, many supporters of Lalu Yadav performed havans and special puja praying for the successful surgery of Lalu Prasad. RJD state unit president Jagdanand Singh said that the blessing of crores of people are there with Lalu. He also praised Rohini's gesture of donating her kidney to her father.
“Blessing of crores of people are there with Lalu ji. He will return home safely. The work of Rohini Acharya is exemplary and she has set an example for the youth of the country. The way she has donated a kidney to her father is a great gesture. The sons and daughters of the country must learn from Rohini," Jagadnand Singh said at the party office.
