After Lalu, ED interrogates Tejashwi Yadav in 'land for job' scam

Yadav reached Patna-based ED office at around 11:30 am, where a large number of his party workers waiting for him, started raising slogans condemning the unnecessary harassment of their leader.

They were agitated over the grilling of Lalu and his family members by ED in the "land for job" scam and dubbed it as a political vendetta of the BJP government at the Centre.

Security personnel had a tough time escorting Tejaswi to the ED office as a large number of RJD workers were present who were raising slogans in favour of their leader.

Despite Tejaswi's appeal to maintain peace, his party workers continued to raise slogans when he was being escorted inside the ED office.

ED sources said that Tejaswi would be asked broadly the same question that was earlier asked from Lalu on Monday.

Focus would be on details of the dealings of plots that Lalu had registered in the names of his family members from the aspirants in lieu of giving them group D category jobs in railways when he was Railway Minister during the regime of the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre from 2004 to 2009.

Former Bihar Minister and senior RJD leader Shyam Rajak said that central investigating agencies were working as different cells of the BJP. On instructions from their political masters, agencies were harassing Lalu and his family members, he remarked.
