CBI at Rabri Devi home because of family's opposition to BJP: Tejashwi

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Monday claimed that the CBI team's visit to the residence of his mother and ex-CM Rabri Devi was a result of his family's relentless opposition to the ruling BJP at the Centre. He also asserted that his father Lalu Prasad, who has been named in the land for jobs case, had "no powers" to provide employment in exchange of favours as the then railway minister. Earlier in the day, a CBI team visited the Rabri Devi's residence here in connection with a "further probe" in the land for jobs scam case, officials said. There is no search or raid taking place, they said. "It is an open secret that probe agencies are acting against political opponents of the BJP and helping those who agree to align with that party.
