BJP is resorting to all this out of fear
RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav said, "This agency is totally in the hands of BJP and all their activities will now be visible in Bihar. We will do as per law and if we get a call we will go, but all these things are not our priorities," he said, adding that the BJP is resorting to all this out of fear and the RJD will get its government in Bihar.
ED posed questions regarding these properties
As per sources, several key questions were raised during the interrogation of Rabri Devi. The ED asked him about the acquisition of his bungalow in New Friends Colony of Delhi, apartments at Saguna Mor in Patna and his properties. In addition to this, it was also asked from where the funds for these properties were obtained. Rabri Devi was also questioned how she knew the individuals from whom she acquired land for employment and how did individuals who obtained employment in the railways get in touch with her.
Misa Bharti was present in the ED office
They were also provided time for lunch and medicines during this period. They were not able to respond to most of the questions or skipped them. Along with Rabri Devi, her daughter Misa Bharti was present in the ED office too. "They have responded to all the questions and are doing their duty," she replied. He stated that his workers are doing their duty as well.
Lalu Prasad's family accused in land for job case
The case goes back to 2004-2009 when Lalu was the railway minister in the UPA-1 government at the Centre. It is claimed that he had practiced corruption in Group D recruitments in the railways and accepted land in lieu. The ED had lodged a charge sheet in the case in which Rabri Devi, her daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav were among the accused.
