The Alleged Land-For-Jobs Scam: Lalu Prasad's Controversial Legacy

JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar accuses RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family of unlawfully acquiring land from underprivileged communities under the pretense of donations. These allegations follow the Delhi court's decision to frame charges against Prasad and his wife, Rabri Devi, in the alleged land-for-jobs scam.

In a significant development, JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar has leveled serious accusations against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, alleging that he and his family unlawfully acquired land from marginalized communities under the guise of seeking donations. The charges were formally framed after a Delhi court indicted Prasad and his wife, Rabri Devi, in the controversial land-for-jobs scam.

Kumar, speaking outside the Bihar Legislative Council, claimed that the Prasad family's under-construction mansion in Patna's Mahua Bagh stands on questionable ground, acquired for a minimal amount by Prasad's daughter. The accusation paints a damning picture of yet another significant political scandal, calling into question actions from Prasad's time as railway minister.

The JD(U) leader sarcastically remarked on the family's ability to convince the impoverished to provide land. Despite these severe allegations, RJD leaders have not responded, while Prasad and Rabri Devi continue to plead not guilty as they prepare to face trial.
