RANCHI: RJD chief Lalu Prasad today termed the lodging of a corruption case against him and CBI searches at the premises his family members as a “BJP conspiracy” and “witch hunt” and claimed he was innocent.
“BJP wants to silence everyone who goes against it. The party wants to create a monopoly in India,” he said.
Reacting to the CBI’s charges, he said he took over as the railway minister on May 31, 2004 and all the decisions about handing over of the hotels were taken before that.
“So the Government of the day, the Atal Bihari Government, must respond to CBI’s charges,” he said.
“This is a BJP conspiracy. The raid is a witch hunt. There is no illegality. I have done nothing wrong. I am open to any probe by the CBI,” said Prasad, who appeared before the special CBI court here in two fodder scam cases. (AGENCIES)
