The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has leveled serious accusations against Tejashwi Yadav, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar, alleging that he removed furniture, light fixtures, and air conditioners from the government bungalow he recently vacated. This accusation has sparked a political controversy in Bihar, with the BJP demanding an investigation into the matter.
Danish Iqbal, the BJP's media in-charge in Bihar, made the allegations public, stating that various items, including furniture, AC units, lights, and even the badminton court mat, were missing from the residence after Yadav left. Iqbal went on to claim that the base of the bed, water outlets in the washroom, fountain lights, and sofas were also missing. He asserted that CCTV cameras installed at the residence had their hard drives missing, adding further weight to the allegations of looting.
Iqbal's accusations were strongly worded, implying that Yadav's actions were indicative of a disregard for government property and a lack of ethical conduct. He stated that the way Yadav vacated the house displayed how to loot government property, highlighting the seriousness of the accusations. The BJP's claims have raised questions about the responsibility of public officials when handling government resources.
The BJP's accusations against Tejashwi Yadav come at a time when he and his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, the RJD chief, are facing legal challenges in a land-for-jobs money laundering case. The Delhi court granted bail to both father and sons in this case, but the allegations against Tejashwi Yadav regarding the government bungalow add another layer to the political tensions in Bihar.
Union minister Giriraj Singh, a prominent BJP leader, echoed the party's demand for an inquiry into the allegations against Yadav. He called for the formation of an inquiry committee to investigate the expenditure on Yadav's bungalow and urged the registration of a case. Singh's statement suggests that the BJP is determined to pursue this matter and hold Yadav accountable for his alleged actions.
The allegations against Tejashwi Yadav have become a major talking point in Bihar politics, highlighting the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and the RJD. The BJP's accusations of looting government property are serious and carry the potential to tarnish Yadav's reputation and further escalate the political tensions in the state. The outcome of the investigation into this matter will likely have significant implications for the political landscape of Bihar.
