Lalu Prasad, Tejashwi Summoned in Land-for-Job Case

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.
