Bihar politician Lalu Yadav, who has been unwell for some time, will receive a kidney from his daughter Rohini Acharya.

The RJD leader will go through a kidney transplant later this month.

Yes, that's true. I'm destiny's child and so proud to give my kidney to papa," said Rohini Acharya, Lalu Yadav's second daughter, who is based in Singapore.

It is just a small chunk of flesh that I wish to give away to my father. I can do anything for him. Please pray that things turn out well and Papa is fit again to give voice to you all,” tweeted Ms. Acharya, the second daughter of Mr. Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi. She also shared a couple of photographs of her father on the social media platform, one of them showing herself as a toddler sitting in his lap.

Prasad, 74, is suffering from multiple ailments and recently had gone to Singapore for preliminary investigations of his chronic renal problems. The doctors are said to have advised him to go for a kidney transplant. He is again likely to visit Singapore between November 20-24.

Currently on bail after his conviction in several fodder scam cases, Mr. Prasad has been undergoing treatment at the Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for multiple diseases. He is currently staying at the official residence of his elder daughter Misa Bharti, who is a Rajya Sabha member from the RJD.
