Lalu Prasad, Tejashwi Summoned in Land-for-Job Case
The case pertains to allegations
that during Lalu Prasad’s tenure as Railway Minister, land parcels were
illegally acquired from job-seekers in exchange for employment
opportunities in the railways. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
has been probing this matter for several years, accusing Lalu Prasad
and his family members of benefiting from this illicit scheme.
Tejashwi
Yadav, who is currently the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, has
consistently denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated.
He has accused the ruling party at the Centre of using central agencies
to target opposition leaders, including his family.
The court's
summons comes after months of investigation, during which the CBI has
reportedly uncovered substantial evidence pointing to the involvement of
Lalu Prasad and his associates. The case has generated widespread
political attention, with opposition parties accusing the government of
vendetta politics.
As the date of their court appearance draws
near, political observers are keenly watching to see how this case
unfolds and what impact it may have on Bihar’s political landscape. Lalu
Prasad's legal battles continue to be a major talking point, especially
with the upcoming elections in the state.
