New Delhi: Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav arrived at the office of the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) here for questioning in connection with the alleged Land for Job scam on Monday.
\nA large number of RJD workers were present outside the office to protest the questioning of their party\u2019s national president.<\/p>\n
An RJD worker said that the Central government is harassing their leader in a bid to prevent them from making strategies for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people do not have any other weapon. The government is harassing these people for the upcoming elections of 2024 so that they are not able to make strategies,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more Lalu Yadav is being harassed, the stronger the workers are becoming. None of us is afraid,\u201d the RJD supporter added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Misa Bharti, daughter of Yadav, came with her father, who will be now quizzed by the officials of the federal agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is in front of the country and the people of the country are watching everything,\u201d Misa, surrounded by scores of RJD supporters, told reporters outside ED\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Manoj Kumar Jha, RJD Rajya Sabha MP, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politically targeting its rivals, using government agencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not an ED summon, but a BJP summon\u2026 This will go on till 2024, till then please do not call it ED summons\u2026 Why should we be scared?\u201d Jha said.<\/p>\n
The BJP, which on Sunday became part of the state government after Nitish Kumar switched sides, claimed that corruption was deep set in the RJD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
