"Pleasing Political Bosses": Tejashwi Yadav's Censure For Probe Agencies
NDTV
In a series of tweets today, Tejashwi Yadav said the investigative agencies "try to please their political bosses by 'raiding' only the opposition ruled state and its leaders".
Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister and chief of Rashtriya Janata Dal, resorted to plain-speaking today on the alleged use of Central investigative agencies as a tool to settle political scores. Asked about the matter last time, Mr Yadav had responded with sarcasm, saying "I invite the Enforcement Directorate to come and stay".
His comments came amid a demand for the withdrawal of "general consent" to CBI, so the agency would need the state government's permission to conduct investigations in the state. The BJP claims the demand is meant to protect corrupt politicians of the ruling alliance.
In a series of tweets today, the 32-year-old who, along with many members of his family, is under the lens of the CBI, said the investigative agencies "try to please their political bosses by 'raiding' only the opposition ruled state and its leaders".
