Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi was questioned for about five hours in Delhi by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to the alleged land-for-jobs scam.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Friday said his mother Rabri Devi's questioning by the Enforcement Directorate in the land-for-jobs case was linked to political shifts in the country, particularly next year's election in the state and the BJP's defeat in Karnataka last week.
"We knew this would happen. They are targeting us because they are afraid of Bihar after Karnataka. They may implicate me in the case in the future. I don't care. The innocent and I have nothing to fear," he said.
Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi was questioned for about five hours in Delhi by the central agency which investigates financial crimes on Thursday in a money laundering case linked to the alleged land-for-jobs scam.
Sources in the agency said the statement of 68-year-old Rabri Devi, wife of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Yadav, was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), news agency PTI reported.
