Bihar NDA leaders welcome Delhi court order framing charges against Lalu, kin in land-for-job case

PATNA: (Jan 9) The NDA in Bihar on Friday welcomed a Delhi court's order directing framing of charges against RJD chief and former railway minister Lalu Prasad, his family members and others in the alleged land-for-job scam.

Special Judge Vishal Gogne said Lalu Prasad used railway ministry as his personal fiefdom to carry out a criminal enterprise, where public employment was used as a bargaining chip to acquire land parcels by the Yadav family in connivance with railway officials and his close aides.

Reacting to the order, BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi said the law was supreme and those who had "committed scams and corruption" would face legal action.
