Why Sushil Modi silent on disproportionate assets of BJP lawmakers, asks Madhepura MP
PATNA: Jan Adhikar Party-Loktantrik (JAP-L) national patron and Madhepura MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav on Monday attacked BJP senior functionary Sushil Kumar Modi for targeting “only RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s family” and asked as to why ‘benami’ and disproportionate properties of those BJP functionaries who have made huge investments in real estate, should not be probed along with the alleged disproportionate properties of the members of Lalu-Rabri family.
“Why Sushil Modi is targeting only the members of Lalu Yadav’s family? Why Modi has not been demanding a similar probe against those BJP functionaries who have amassed disproportionate assets in different parts of the state?” Pappu Yadav told reporters here on Monday.
Reacting over BJP and RJD’s demand and counter-demand for a probe by central investigating agencies against the assets of family of Lalu and Sushil Modi, respectively; the JAP-L chief patron said Sushil Modi should also explain to the people as to how some functionaries of the saffron party opened show-rooms of big companies in the Bihar’s capital. “A BJP legislator from Supaul-Saharsa region has amassed disproportionate assets. He has made huge investment in real estate at several places. Why Sushil Modi is silent on the disproportionate properties of this particular BJP’s lawmaker?” quipped Pappu Yadav, whose wife Ranjeeta Ranjan is Congress MP from Bihar’s Supaul parliamentary seat.
Mentioning about his organisation’s regular demand for probe into the disproportionate assets of MLAs, MPs and ministers of all political parties including those of JAP-L, Pappu further urged the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to order a vigilance probe into the assets of all functionaries of all parties. He said, since vigilance department operates under the state government, CM can order a vigilance probe until the centre orders a probe by the CBI or enforcement directorate.
Drawing attention of central investigating agencies and political parties towards several high-rise malls built-up by some criminal-turned-politicians in Patna and some other cities, Pappu Yadav questioned as to why CM Nitish Kumar was not ordering a vigilance probe into the properties of those MLAs and MPs who accumulated wealth through extortion and other criminal activities.
