As Nitish, Tejashwi meet, BJP releases further proof of corruption

The BJP leader said that Tejashwi acquired 13 properties through shell firms run by him.

Even as the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar tried to break the ice with his deputy, Tejashwi Yadav, the BJP has furnished details of another list of properties alleged to be illegal.

BJP leader Sushil Modi released details of 26 properties allegedly acquired by the Tejashwi. He alleged that 13 properties in Patna and and Gopalganj were registered in Tejashwi's name, while the remaining 13 were owned by companies in which he is either a director or a shareholder.

Two out of the 13 plots of land which Tejashwi directly owns were registered in his name in 1993 when he was around three years old. Ten more properties were registered in his name between 2004 and 2009, when his father Lalu was rail minister. One plot at Bairiya on the outskirts of Patna was registered in his name in 2009, Modi also said.

The BJP leader said that Tejashwi acquired 13 properties through shell firms run by him and other family members of Lalu, including Rabri Devi and elder son and health minister Tej Pratap. These shell firms are Delight Marketing Company Pvt Ltd, Ab Exports Private Limited and AK Infosystems Private Limited, he further said.

The allegations come in the backdrop of Nitish Kumar meeting with his deputy on Tuesday night. Nitish had a conversation with Tejashwi for around 40 minutes following a meeting of the state cabinet.
