I read the textbook in Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB). Here is a theroem

For some $\tau=\tau(\theta)$, there exists an unbiased estimator $\hat{\tau}$ of $\tau$ such that $Var(\hat{\tau})$ attains the CRLB if and only if the distribution belongs to an exponential family ($X\sim f(x; \theta)=\exp(a(x)b(\theta)+c(x)+d(\theta))$).

I know how to prove that "if the distribution belongs to an exponential family, then there exists an unbiased estimator if the distribution belongs to an exponential family, then there exists an unbiased estimator $\hat{\tau}$ of $\tau$ such that $Var(\hat{\tau})$ attains the CRLB$\hat{\tau}$ of $\tau$ such that $Var(\hat{\tau})$ attains the CRLB".

But how to prove the another direction?
