BJP has nothing to do with ED investigation: Nityanand Rai
On the allegation by the opposition leaders of getting the ED inquiry done out of revenge against the BJP, Rai said that the allegations leveled against the BJP are false. BJP had not opened the file of fodder scam. Who was in power when the fodder scam case was handed over to CBI? Who was in power when the FIR was filed? If Congress was there, then why is BJP being blamed? The allegations being leveled against BJP are wrong. ED is an independent investigative unit and is doing its work. BJP has nothing to do with this.
Lalu Prasad will have to suffer the consequences of his actions: BJP
BJP state spokesperson Prabhakar Kumar Mishra also attacked Lalu Prasad Yadav and said that Lalu Yadav will have to suffer the consequences of his actions. He always misused his power and indulged in corruption. Everyone gets the fruits of his good and bad deeds. Lalu Prasad is also getting the fruits of his actions. Mishra said that Lalu Prasad is not cooperating with ED in the Land for Job case, this clearly shows that he is in trouble. If Lalu has not committed any crime in this case, then he should give a direct answer to ED’s questions.
ED is interrogating Tejashwi Yadav
It is noteworthy that Tejashwi Yadav is being interrogated today in ED’s Patna office. A team of about 12 officers came to Patna from Delhi ED headquarters on Monday for questioning in the Land for Job case. Where on Monday he interrogated Lalu Yadav continuously for about 10 hours. He was also being given food and medicine from time to time. During interrogation, ED asked Lalu Prasad more than 60 questions in different ways related to the land-for-job scam. Lalu Prasad answered all the questions thoughtfully.
what is the matter
When Lalu Prasad was the Railway Minister, between 2004 and 2009, many people were given jobs in Group-D after taking land in various railway divisions. The land from the job takers was transferred to the name of the family members of the then Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and a related company, AK Infosystems Private Limited. ED had earlier claimed in a statement that Katyal was the director of this company. The registered address of the company is D-1088, New Friends Colony, New Delhi, which is the residence of Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members.
