Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has reacted after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) claim. He targeted the BJP while tweeting. Tejashwi said in his tweet that remember – in 2017 also alleged transactions worth 8000 crores, malls worth thousands of crores, hundreds of properties and just a few months ago, UrbanCube mall of billions of WhiteLand Company was also found in Gurugram. Further, while taunting the BJP, he said that the BJP would have given the old account to its sources before bringing the new account of the alleged 600 crores.
Accused of spreading rumors on BJP
Tejashwi Yadav further said that ‘misleading rumors are being spread here and there by the BJP government quoting sources. Instead of getting the news plant done, BJP should make public the list of Panchnama (Seizure List) signed after the raid, if we make it public then what will be the respect of these poor leaders? think..’
Accusing the BJP, he said that ‘If Lalu ji had joined hands with the BJP, he would have been King Harishchandra of India today. The so-called fodder scam would have become Bhaichara scam in two minutes, if Lalu ji’s DNA had changed.
This reaction of Tejashwi Yadav comes after the claim made by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) today. The ED in its claim had said that during the raids at various premises of Lalu Prasad and his family, unaccounted cash worth Rs one crore was seized. The ED had also informed that during the raids, proceeds of crime worth Rs 600 crore were unearthed.
Priyanka Gandhi also reacted
At the same time, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has also given her reaction on this matter. He wrote on Twitter that why is the leader of the BJP government so afraid of the vocal voices of the opposition? By adopting all the handcuffs, the government is just doing politics to suppress the unyielding voices of the opposition. The action of the agencies on Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav is inspired by this politics. The public is watching everything, it will take account of it.
ED raids more than 20 locations of Lalu and family members
Significantly, the ED is probing the allegations of money laundering (money laundering) against the family of former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and their associates related to the land-for-job scam case. The ED on Friday launched raids at several places in Delhi linked to Lalu Prasad’s son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and other family members. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided over 20 premises, including the residences of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s three daughters and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders, in connection with the money laundering probe in the job-for-land scam case. The ED has also raided the residence of Lalu’s Samdhi SP leader Jitendra Yadav in Ghaziabad.
According to sources, Rs 53 lakh in cash, USD 1,900, 540 gm gold and 1.5 kg gold jewelery were seized in the raid. RJD leader Manoj Jha alleged that the raids against his party’s leaders were a reaction to the change of government in Bihar in August last year.
Between 2004 and 2009, when Lalu was the railway minister, there was a disturbance
The case pertains to Lalu Prasad’s family being given a job in the Railways in lieu of gifting a plot of land or selling it to them at a throwaway price when he was Railway Minister between 2004 and 2009. The raids were carried out at premises belonging to former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad’s daughters Ragini Yadav, Chandra Yadav, Hema Yadav and former RJD MLA Abu Dojana in Patna, Phulwarisharif, Delhi-NCR, Ranchi and Mumbai, officials said. A house in South Delhi of Lalu’s younger son and Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav was also raided. The ED also took action at Lalu’s brother-in-law Jitendra Yadav’s Ghaziabad residence.
