Lalu, Tejashwi question BJP over Giriraj-Bachcha links Madan Kumar | TNN | Jun 12, 2016, 11.29 PM IST [Video] Patna: RJD boss Lalu Prasad and his son and deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Sunday questioned BJP after some pictures went viral showing Union minister of state for MSME Giriraj Singh sharing dais with the alleged Intermediate toppers' scam mastermind Bachcha Roy at the controversial Vishun Roy College in Vaishali district. While posting on his twitter handle and Facebook page some of the pictures of Giriraj with Bachcha, Tejashwi tweeted, "Modi's fav minister with scam accused & his father. He is a business partner and family friend of main culprit Bachcha Roy." In another tweet, he wrote, "Sharing pics of aid of toppers scam culprit & renowned central minister. Hope few media houses will not hesitate to do character assassination." Sharing on his twitter handle a report published in a Hindi daily, Tejashwi also said Bachcha admitted to the investigating officers that he had links with a Union minister and that Roy was planning to open a medical college with the help of that minister. "The main culprit has cordial relations with a central minister who regularly joins his college functions to distribute prizes to the toppers. All malpractices of dis collage were taking place probably by encouragement of him. ModiJi's Minister wanted to open a Medical collage with culprit," Tejashwi said in another tweet. While retweeting Tejashwi's tweets, Lalu asked, "What BJP got to say on it? Remember crores of crore rupees were recovered from this minister's house, whose money it was?" It may be recalled that cash and valuables were stolen from Giriraj's Anandpuri flat in the city on July 8, 2014. Singh had initially told Patna police about theft of only Rs 50,000, but one Dinesh, who was arrested the next day with Rs 1.14 crore besides US$600, gold and silver jewellery and six costly watches, told the Pirbahore police that he had stolen the cash and valuables from Giriraj's flat. In a counter-attack on BJP for alleging that strict actions were not being taken against 'tainted' lawmakers of the ruling alliance, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar had also asked what action the saffron party had taken against Giriraj after recovery of Rs1.14 crore stolen from his flat. When contacted by reporters, Giriraj admitted that he had gone to Bachcha's college as he was invited to distribute certificates. "But, did I ask Bachcha and Lalkeshwar (former BSEB chairman) to do the toppers' scam?" Giriraj quipped. He said CM Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi should resign as the toppers' scam took place during their regime. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
