Bihar MP seeks CBI probe into all previous decisions taken by Lalu as railway minister
Prasad served as the 34th railway minister from May 23, 2004 to May 25, 2009 during the UPA-I government which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had headed.
Yadav who represents Madhepura seat in the parliament on Wednesday met senior officials at the Rail Bhawan in New Delhi and submitted a memorandum addressed to railway minister Suresh Prabhu.
“During his (Lalu Prasad’s) tenure as the railway minister, apparently a large-scale corruption in railway took place in matter of awarding railway contracts, auction of railways properties and allotment of schemes,” Yadav alleged in his memorandum, seeking a CBI inquiry into these misdeeds.
He alleged the RJD chief earned ‘benami’ properties worth billions during his tenure as railway minister in lieu of granting benefits to contractors and others related to railway projects.
Yadav was elected on RJD ticket from Madhepura seat during the last 2014 LS polls but was expelled from the party after he rebelled against the party leadership.
