“Useless to say that it’s a raid by ED or IT or CBI, it’s a raid by BJP. They work under BJP now, their offices run with BJP script. Today is Floor Test (in Bihar Assembly) and what’s happening here? It has become predictable,” reacting to the raids, RJD RS MP Manoj Jha said.
In reply, Bihar BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal on CBI raids in the state said that, “BJP does not implicate anyone. 1.5 years ago, CM Nitish Kumar himself had complained that crores of rupees were caught from Biscomaun. Maybe it (raids) are part of that.”
Meanwhile, today, the first day of the two-day special session, the Nitish Kumar-led Mahagathbandhan government of Bihar is prepared to take a floor test with the support of 165 MLAs.
