NDTV
Calling it a "fake campaign", Tejashwi Yadav also took a dig at the central investigating agencies.
Three days after raids on his and his family members' houses in multiple states in connection with the land-for-jobs case, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav today again rubbished the allegations, and taunted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. In a dig at the Prime Minister's 'entire political science' degree, and Mr Shah's 'understand the chronology' remark, Tejashwi Yadav said they (the Yadav family) are real socialists, not "fake entire political science people", and offered a chronology of events leading to the raids. He also questioned what happened to sensational, headline-making claims of recovering thousands of crores in money and properties during earlier raids.

"It takes courage to fight their lies, rumours, and political vendetta. We have the heart, the political space, integrity, and ideas. I said it the day we formed the government, that such attempts will be constant," he said, claiming that he has repeatedly said they expected "vengeful" action from the Centre through its probe agencies in response to ousting the BJP from power in Bihar.
Referring to the Enforcement Directorate's claim that they detected proceeds of crimes worth over Rs 600 crore in the recent raids, Mr Yadav demanded they first furnish details of the Rs 8,000 crore money laundering racket they claimed to have unearthed in 2017 raids, which they had said was linked to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav's family.
