Corruption charges brought against me at the behest of BJP : Lalu Prasad

India Blooms News Service | | 19 May 2017, 03:33 pm
Patna, May 19 (IBNS) : Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has alleged that corruption charges have been brought against him at the behest of the ruling BJP at the Centre, NDTV reports.

Speaking to NDTV, Yadav has also claimed that whatever his children have acquired is in public domain.

His name came in the centre of a controversy after income tax officials on Tuesday searched different properties in and around Delhi as part of an investigation that alleges  Yadav has a stash of secretly-owned real estate assets that total 1,000 crores.

This came just a week after the Supreme Court refused his request to decide that he will be tried in five different cases for corruption linked to his term as Bihar Chief Minister in the 90s.

"For the past three-four days, at BJP's instance, the media is running that properties linked to Lalu have been raided. This is at the behest of Sushil Modi," Yadav told NDTV.

Yadav's party holds the maximum seats in Bihar and is a partner of the ruling grand coalition, led by Nitish Kumar.
