Janata Dal (United), RJD’s ally in running Bihar Government has stated that Central Bureau Investigation probe against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family in an alleged land for jobs scam is a case of “pure venedetta”. It has been filed under the pressure of the top brass of the BJP.
CBI reopens case against RJD leader Lalu Yadav and his family
Janata Dal (United) President Lalan Singh has stated,
“Case against Lalu Yadav is pure vendetta. The CBI had closed the case twice due to lack of evidence. Now, after Nitish Kumar joined hands with the RJD, the case has now been opened again. How did the CBI suddenly get a witness,”
He also stated that CBI was being forced to file cases against opposition leaders because BJP is afraid of them,
“The current government is using central agencies to target the opposition. They have been targeting their political opponents not just in Bihar, but in other states also,”
In a coincidence , CBI’s case against the RJD leader in the land for jobs scam is based on complaint filed by Lalan Singh in 2008.
