News India Live, Digital Desk: The ‘job in exchange for land’ scam is once again in the headlines in Bihar politics, and this time JDU has made a big attack on RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav. JDU’s chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar has made serious allegations against Lalu Prasad Yadav, in which he has claimed that Lalu had taken land not only from outsiders but also from his own brother and his wife Rabri Devi’s uncle in exchange for job. Neeraj has also targeted Tejashwi Yadav in this whole matter and advised him to surrender.
Neeraj Kumar cornered RJD and Lalu family and said that the way the ‘job in exchange for land’ scam took place is shocking. He directly alleged that Lalu Prasad Yadav, when he was the Railway Minister at the Centre, got the land registered from his relatives, even his brother and Rabri Devi’s uncle, in exchange for a job in the Railways. Neeraj asked why Rabri Devi’s uncle and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s brother donated these lands? This clearly shows that these were not donations but lands in exchange for jobs.
JDU spokesperson said that the layers of this entire matter are continuously being revealed. Taking a dig at Tejashwi Yadav, he said that when all the evidence and allegations are coming out, then instead of trying to escape, Tejashwi should surrender before the law. He described this entire matter as ‘the biggest game of corruption’, where even his own people were not spared.
This attack has been carried out by JDU at a time when the legal noose is being tightened on the Lalu family in the ‘job in exchange for land’ case. Both CBI and ED are investigating this case, and recently charges have also been framed in the court against Lalu, Rabri and Tejashwi. In such a situation, due to these statements of JDU, the political heat in Bihar has increased further.
