TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Tuesday alleged that he would soon come out with documentary proof of sand mafia funding the RJD and investing in Lalu Prasad’s family assets.
“Sand mafia fund political parties…sand mafia are the main source of RJD’s funding…I would soon hold a press conference to make a big expose on Lalu Prasad’s family’s links with those big guns involved in sand mining,” Modi told reporters.
The senior BJP leader asserted that the state government was committed to take action against all types of persons involved in corruption. In reply to a query as whether he had gone through the file of ‘soil purchase’, Modi tried to downplay the issue by saying that it was a very small issue.
“We (govt) will see as what action has been initiated in the case. What is the progress in the case and what further action is required to be done in it,” Modi said. “This (soil purchase scam) is a very small issue. RJD’s Bihar unit spokesman and media in-charge Pragati Mehta dismissed the allegations as “baseless and absurd”.
