Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday expressed apprehensions that leaders of the current ruling alliance may be “hounded” by central probe agencies ahead of the 2024 elections. The young RJD leader, whose family is on the CBI-ED radar in a couple of cases, made the remark at a rally organized here by the Communist Party of India.
“You all know what is being done to Arvind Kejriwal”, said Yadav, referring to the ED summons to the Delhi Chief Minister, who has refused to appear before the agency and demanded the withdrawal of the “illegal, politically motivated” notice. The RJD leader claimed his father and party supremo Lalu Prasad had joined hands with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar last year, burying past differences, “in the interest of the country”.
“The BJP cannot bear the sight of parties opposed to it, being in power anywhere” Yadav added.
