It is not just the fodder scam that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav is involved in. Lalu Yadav is believed to be involved in the purchase of 6 acres of land in the luxury enclave at a massive discount of nearly 96%. Further, it has been reported that the land was purchased in the name of his daughter Bharti.
Lalu’s daughter has bought almost 7 acres of land worth Rs 100 crores for just about 1.4 crores through mysterious business entities that have allowed her to make huge profits at their expense. Meanwhile, Union minister Ravishankar Prasad has termed the matter as a case of organized loot.
Yadav daughter Misa Bharti is headed to the Rajya Sabha in what is seen as a deft balancing act by Daddy Yadav, whose political family is expanding. Sons Tejaswi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav are ministers in the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar. |

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday questioned Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s “silence” over Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Yadav’s daughter Misa Bharti’s money laundering case, and asked him to come out openly and order a proper investigation into the matter.
Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi told ANI, “The land has been purchased under the name of Lalu Yadav’s daughter under highly suspicious circumstances. I suggest, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), ED should take strict against Bharti. Nitish Kumar who has kept silence on the issue should also come out openly and take strict action her in connection with the matter.”
Echoing similar sentiments, BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav said the latest reports over the dealings of Misa Bharti has proved that she has accumulated illegal fund from anonymous companies.
“Now, the Bihar Chief Minister has to break his silence on the issues related to his Cabinet Ministers, adding that the government should take strict action against Misa Bharti,” Yadav told ANI.
Leading English daily accessed papers that document land purchases in Delhi’s Tony Sainik farms and Bijwasan luxury farm enclave – two deals that point to alleged Misa Bharti is involved in money laundering matter on a massive scale.
