He says the family acquired properties of Tata Steel Limited through shell companies
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Sushil Kumar Modi, on Monday, continued with his second round of "exposés" against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members. He said the family acquired properties of Tata Steel Limited through shell companies.
He also accused two of Lalu's daughters — Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti and Rohini Acharya of getting admission into Tata Medical College-Jamshedpur on company quota in lieu of favour granted to the company during the Lalu-Rabri regime in undivided Bihar.
Addressing a news conference at the state BJP headquarters in Patna on Monday, Modi said the plot of land in the name of Fairgrow Holding Private Limited, which was recently attached by Income Tax department sleuths, actually belonged to the Tatas. "It was used as a guest house of Tata in undivided Bihar from 1990-2000 and even later. In 2002, it was sold to Fairgrow, which had Lalu's younger son Tejashwi Yadav among its directors," Modi said.
He said, "Tejashwi is now a proud owner of Tata's prime property in Patna. Congrats to him for owning more than 30 properties at the age of 30 without any job." Why did the Tatas sell their property to a virtually-closed shell company at a throwaway price, asked Modi.
The Deputy CM of Bihar also accused Lalu and his wife Rabri Devi of obliging the Tatas in their tenure as the chief ministers of the state, in return for which, "Their daughters Misa and Rohini as well as daughters of two of his close associates — Anwar Ahmad and Elias Hussain — were also admitted to Tata Medical College-Jamshedpur on company quota."
Modi said that the modus operandi of the acquisition was the same as Delight Marketing and other fake companies, which bought prime properties and later transferred it in the names of Yadav and his family members.
In 2017, Modi had made a series of "revelations" against the Yadav clan and alleged them to have amassed illegal properties worth over Rs 1,000 crore. The allegation and subsequent investigation by central agencies, had ultimately led to the fall of the then Mahagathbandhan government.
