"What's New": Tejashwi Yadav Brushes Off CBI Questioning Of Rabri Devi

"If you fight with the BJP, if you question the BJP, if you show them the mirror, these things will happen. What's new?" Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.

Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav brushed off his mother and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi's questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation today, saying it is nothing new for those who question the BJP. The former Chief Minister was questioned for four hours today in connection with an alleged land-for-jobs scam when her husband Lalu Yadav held the railway portfolio at the Centre. Lalu Yadav will be questioned tomorrow.

"If you fight with the BJP, if you question the BJP, if you show them the mirror, these things will happen. What's new?" Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.

He, however, sidestepped a query on the timing of the action by the CBI -- a day after eight opposition parties wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging misuse of the Central investigative agencies.

"Let anyone draw whatever conclusions they will. Ever since this new government was formed, these things happen every month… the people in Bihar are watching it all," said the Rashtriya Janata Dal chief, who was one of the leaders who signed the letter.
