BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi today charged the Bihar government with letting RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav get out on bail in a rape case under influence his party chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and said today's meeting between the two was a proof of that.
"The RJD supremo, who generally turns away people from his doorstep, took out two hours from his schedule for meeting Raj Ballabh Yadav. It clearly proves that the tainted RJD MLA's release was fixed as the state counsel did not oppose the bail petition with vigour," he said in a statement.
Modi had earlier alleged that that the Nitish Kumar administration helped RJD strongman and ex-MP Mohammad Shahabuddin in getting bail from High Court in a murder case.
The former deputy chief minister wondered if the government would forcefully oppose Yadav's release during hearing in the Supreme Court tomorrow or indulge in a show of opposing it to please the RJD supremo.
There were several lacaune in the prosecution's side that clinched bail for Raj Ballabh Yadav, he said.
Yadav was charged with raping a minor girl at his Biharsharif residence in February. He was granted bail on September 30 by Patna High Court.
