Just keep watching: Bihar CM Nitish on CBI raids

[ad_1]

Patna, Aug 25:
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar
on
Thursday
reacted
to
the
CBI
searches
on
leaders
of
the
RJD,
his
new
allies
in
power,
with
an
eloquent
reticence.

“Ye
sab
dekhte
na
rahiye
aap
log,
kya
hota
hai
(just
keep
watching
as
things
unfold)”,
was
the
CM’s
reply
when
journalists
asked
him
about
the
raids
that
took
place
on
Wednesday,
hours
before
his
government
faced
a
trust
vote.

Raids
were
conducted
at
many
places
in
Bihar
and
Delhi-NCR
in
connection
with
the
alleged
land-for-jobs
scam,
pertaining
to
the
period
when
RJD
president
Lalu
Prasad
was
the
minister
for
railways.

Prasad’s
son
Tejashwi
Yadav,
who
is
now
the
Deputy
CM,
had
denied
that
his
family
had
stakes
in
an
under-construction
shopping
mall
in
Gurugram
that
was
among
the
more
than
a
dozen
premises
raided
by
CBI
sleuths.
