This came a day Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ditched his alliance partners – the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress – and joined hands with the BJP.
The Enforcement Directorate questioned Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday in Patna in connection with the land-for-jobs case, NDTV reported.
He was accompanied by his daughter, Misha Bharti, who is also accused in the case.
The questioning comes a day after Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar severed ties with the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal in the state. He then formed the government with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party, taking oath as Bihar’s chief minister for the ninth time.
Law enforcement agencies have alleged that as Union railway minister between 2004 and 20009, Yadav took land from job aspirants in return for employment with the Railways, contravening the recruitment procedures.
