While JD(U)-RJD riff continues to deepen, the BJP on Sunday continued to put pressure on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over Tejashwi Yadav and warned that they will not let the House function if an adequate response did not come from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo.
According to reports, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said,“Nitish Kumar has no defence so he must immediately suspend Tejashwi Yadav. JD (U) is asking for a response since there has been enough delay in the matter. There is a strong case against Lalu Yadav’s son. He has to clarify on the anonymous assets.”
Significantly, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a corruption case against Lalu, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi and former Indian Railway Catering and Tourism.
Corporation (IRCTC) Managing Director P.K. Goyal, and the wife of Lalu’s confidante Prem Chand Gupta, Sujata on allegations of awarding the tender for development, maintenance and operation of hotels in Ranchi and Puri in 2006.
The CBI later questioned Rabri Devi and Tejashwi.
