Lalu manipulated facts in fodder scam: Modi

Senior BJP leader and deputy chief minister of Bihar, Sushil Kumar Modi on Saturday alleged that RJD chief Lalu Prasad had manipulated facts after he became the Railway minister to get out of the multi-crore fodder scam and disproportionate assets case.

Talking to reporters here, Modi accused the RJD supremo of forging an alliance with the Congress at the Centre with the sole purpose of getting rid of the mess he was in.

Modi said that using his clout Lalu Prasad even managed to change CBI officers.

He said the Jharkhand high court had recently taken serious exception to the delay in production of witnesses by the CBI in the fodder scam cases.
