RJD leader and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav has thrown his support behind Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to lead the opposition INDIA bloc, dismissing Congress's objections.

Lalu Endorses Mamata for INDIA Bloc Leadership

RJD leader and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav has thrown his support behind Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to lead the opposition INDIA bloc, dismissing Congress's objections.

RJD leader and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav has thrown his support behind Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to lead the opposition INDIA bloc, dismissing Congress's objections. &ldquo;We will support Mamata... She should be given the leadership of the INDIA bloc,&rdquo; Yadav stated on December 10.
Yadav&rsquo;s endorsement comes after the Trinamool Congress intensified its push for Banerjee&rsquo;s leadership, with MP Kirti Azad calling her the most suitable candidate due to her consistent victories over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal.
Banerjee, who has expressed interest in heading the alliance, also emphasized her readiness to lead. &ldquo;If given the opportunity, I would ensure its smooth functioning. I don&rsquo;t want to go outside West Bengal, but I can run it from here,&rdquo; Banerjee said in an interview on December 6.
The leadership question has gained prominence following the opposition bloc&rsquo;s electoral setbacks. While many in the alliance, including NCP's Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, have expressed support for Banerjee&rsquo;s leadership, a formal decision is yet to be made.
This isn&rsquo;t the first time Lalu Yadav has backed Banerjee. In a 2023 INDIA bloc meeting ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Yadav criticized Left and Congress leaders in West Bengal for their continuous criticism of the TMC leader.

Modi govt could fall in August, predicts Lalu Prasad Yadav 

He urged party workers to remain prepared for such an eventuality and draw strength from the RJD's performance in the recent Lok Sabha polls that saw its tally and vote share increased.

RJD president Lalu Prasad on Friday claimed that the Narendra Modi government at the Centre was "weak" and could "fall" as early as next month.
Prasad made the prediction at a function here, organised to mark 28 years of the party he had floated by splitting the Janata Dal.
The ailing septuagenarian, who spoke in a weak voice for less than 10 minutes, with younger son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav by his side, said, &ldquo;The Modi government is weak. It can fall any time. It can fall in August&rdquo;.
He urged party workers to remain prepared for such an eventuality and draw strength from the fact that in the recent Lok Sabha polls, the RJD improved its tally as well as vote share compared with five years ago.
&ldquo;We have also been, for quite some time, the single largest party in the Bihar assembly. And unlike many others, we have never compromised on ideology,&rdquo; Prasad said.
He made the remark at a time when most leaders of the NDA were at a BJP function where the newly inducted Union ministers from Bihar were felicitated.

Former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav said that Modi is not a Hindu and doesn't like family members joining politics as he doesn't have one.

Former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had blamed the RJD's dynastic politics for Bihar's downfall in key social and economic metrics. Addressing the 'Vishwas Maha Rally' in Patna's Gandhi maidan, which saw attendance of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Lalu took aim at Modi's personal life saying that he has problems with family joining politics as he doesn't have one. He also said that Modi is not a Hindu.
"Narendra Modi is nowadays attacking dynastic politics. I want to ask, why doesn't he has any children. You don't have family. And you (Modi) are not Hindu also. Every Hindu shaves his head after the death of his mother but Modi did not. Why didn't he shave? Tell me!"&nbsp;

Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav, and son Tejashwi Yadav are under scrutiny over the money laundering allegations.

The agency is expected to file supplementary chargesheets in the land-for-jobs case.

The CBI on Tuesday started questioning former railway minister Lalu Prasad in connection with the land for jobs scam case where people were allegedly given jobs in the railways in return for land parcels gifted or sold at cheap rates to the Yadav family and associates, officials said.
The examination of the RJD supremo comes a day after his wife and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi was quizzed at her Patna residence by the agency for nearly five hours, they said. According to officials, a team of five CBI officials arrived in two cars at 10.40 am at the residence of Misha Bharti in Pandara Park on Tuesday where Prasad is currently residing and the questioning will continue during the day.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has already filed a charge sheet in the case against Prasad, Rabri Devi and 14 others under charges of criminal conspiracy and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, in which all the accused have been summoned on March 15, they said.

They said a fresh round of questioning is taking place as part of "further investigation" where the investigation agency is trying to ascertain the money trail and larger conspiracy. &nbsp;The fresh questioning of ailing Prasad, who was convicted in a fodder scam, and his wife had evoked sharp criticism from opposition parties on Monday.
Prasad's son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav termed the CBI action a result of his family's "relentless opposition" to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"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," the RJD leader told reporters outside the Bihar Assembly on Monday.
Yadav said as the then railway minister, Prasad, had "no powers" to give employment in exchange for favours.
He got support from the Congress and the AAP which targeted the central government alleging that the saffron party wanted to "suppress" the voice of the opposition.
"Today Rabri Devi ji is being harassed. Lalu Prasad ji and his family have been harassed for years because they did not bow down," Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted.
AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said targeting and harassing opposition leaders is wrong. The CBI had recently arrested the then Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in the excise policy scam case.

A CBI team on Monday visited the residence of former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi in connection with "further probe" in the land for jobs scam case, officials said.
There is no search or raid taking place, they said. &nbsp;The CBI had already filed its charge sheet in the case and the special court has summoned the accused, including former Railways Minister Lalu Prasad and his family members and others on March 15, they said.
The agency has kept the further probe open into the alleged scam case, they said. &nbsp;The visit of the CBI team is in connection with further investigation in the case, they said.
It was alleged in the FIR that some persons, although residents of Patna in Bihar, were appointed as substitutes in Group-D posts during the period 2004-2009 in different zones of the railways located in Mumbai, Jabalpur, Kolkata, Jaipur and Hajipur and in lieu thereof, the individuals themselves or their family members transferred their land in the name of family members of Prasad and a company, AK Infosystems Private Limited, which was subsequently taken over by family members of Prasad.
It was further alleged that about 1,05,292 sq. ft. land situated in Patna was acquired by the family members of Prasad from those persons through five sale deeds and two gift deeds and in most of the sale deeds, payment to the sellers was mentioned to be paid in cash.
The value of the land as per existing circle rate was about Rs 4.39 crore.
The land which was directly purchased by the family members of Prasad from the sellers at a rate lower than the prevalent circle rate. The prevalent market value of the land was much higher than the circle rate.
It was alleged that due procedure and guidelines issued by the railway authority for the appointment of substitutes was not followed and later on, their services had also been regularised.

A preliminary enquiry was initiated by the CBI which has been converted into an FIR now.
The alleged land-for-jobs scam pertains to the period when Lalu Prasad Yadav was the railway minister in the UPA government, officials said.

In an interesting development in Bihar politics, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar attended an iftaar party hosted by main Opposition party RJD. The iftaar party was held at the residence of former Bihar CM Rabri Devi, who is the wife of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Nitish attended the event at the invitation of Lalu's son Tejashwi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly.
This comes amid growing differences between ruling allies JD(U) and BJP. Leaders of the two parties have been firing salvos at each other publicly in recent months. Despite the BJP having more seats in the Assembly than JD(U), the latter has the CM seat.
This has led to speculation in recent weeks that Nitish might move to Delhi and be made the Vice-President of India. However, some voices in the BJP have tried to assert that Nitish will complete his term till 2025.
The RJD also dealt a blow to the ruling alliance in the recent Bochahan Assembly bypolls. The JD(U)-BJP coalition also lost 10 seats in the recent MLC elections.

Leaders of the two parties have been firing salvos at each other publicly in recent months. Despite the BJP having more seats in the Assembly than JD(U), the latter has the CM seat. This has led to speculation in recent weeks that Nitish might move to Delhi and be made the Vice-President of India. However, some voices in the BJP have tried to assert that Nitish will complete his term till 2025. The RJD also dealt a blow to the ruling alliance in the recent Bochahan Assembly bypolls.
The JD(U)-BJP coalition also lost 10 seats in the recent MLC elections. =======================================

A special CBI court on Monday sentenced RJD supremo Lalu Prasad to five years in prison and slapped a fine of Rs 60 lakh on him in connection with a fodder scam case.

After his conviction in the case on February 15, the ailing 73-year old former Bihar chief minister was lodged in the Birsa Munda Central Jail and then shifted to state-run Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences in Ranchi.
