The Bihar State Assembly witnessed high-end drama between RJD and BJP MLAs following the bail of former Union Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, and daughter Misa Bharati in the alleged land-for-job scam case.

The scuffle broke out between the MLAs after RJD MLAs started offering laddus to BJP MLAs upon getting information about the Yadav family’s bail in the case.

Watch here.

Earlier in the day, Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi, and daughter Misa Bharati appeared before a Delhi court in connection with the alleged land-for-job scam. The Yadav family appeared before Special Judge Geetanjali Goel around 11 am.

The BJP MLAs were protesting against the Bihar Government when the RJD MLAs started distributing sweets following the development in the alleged case. In the video the MLAs of both the parties could be seen arguing and throwing ladoos outside the state assembly.

The Land-for-job scam pertains to the alleged appointments made in the Indian Railways in return for land parcels gifted or sold to Lalu Yadav’s family. The alleged scam happened between 2004-2009 when Yadav was the railway minister.  

The CBI, in its chargesheet, alleged that irregular appointments were made in the railway department, violating the norms and procedures of the Indian Railways for recruitment.

The central agency alleged that the candidates directly or through their family members sold lands to the Yadav family members at highly discounted rates.

Recently, the agency conducted several raids at the properties of Lalu Prasad’s relatives. It also questioned the Yadav’s son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashvi Yadav for hours. During the raids several jewelry items and huge amount of cash were seized.
