‘His son failed Class 9, yet he wants him to become king of Bihar': Prashant Kishor slams Lalu Yadav on job crisis; says even graduates can't get peon jobs
SARAN: , the founder of Jan Suraaj party, criticised Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief on Thursday. He pointed out the disparity where Lalu wants his son Tejashwi Yadav, who hasn't completed class 9, to become "King of Bihar", whilst graduates from ordinary families remain unemployed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He sarcastically commended the RJD chief, suggesting that people should observe how Lalu Yadav ensures his children's advancement. "We need to learn from Lalu Prasad Yadav how to worry about children. Lalu ji's son did not pass the 9th class, but Lalu Yadav is so worried about his child that he still wants him to become the king of Bihar. When we say this, people say that we complain about him. No! We are praising Lalu Yadav," Kishor said. Kishor is in Saran as part of the 'Bihar Badlav Yatra' (Journey for change in Bihar). He further said, "You look at your condition. Your child has passed matriculation and has graduated, but still he is not getting a job, even as a peon." During a public gathering at Taraiya in Saran on June 4, Kishor observed that the overwhelming attendance at his rallies demonstrates the widespread public discontent over Bihar's corruption issues. He noted that this significant turnout indicates the people's unified aspiration for transformation in the state. "It's not my personal graph that's rising -- it's the growing aspiration of the people who want to see real change in Bihar. These people gathered here are not my relatives, nor are they from my caste. They come from diverse sections of society. But what unites them is a shared frustration -- everyone is fed up with the corruption that plagues Bihar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now There is a collective desire for change," Kishor added. The Bihar Assembly polls are anticipated to take place in October or November this year, though the Election Commission of India (ECI) has yet to declare the official schedule. The NDA alliance, comprising BJP, JD(U), and LJP, aims to maintain their governance in Bihar, whilst the INDIA coalition, which includes RJD, Congress, and left parties, seeks to challenge Nitish Kumar's leadership.

'Signatures Forged To Show Candidates As Eligible': CBI In Lalu Yadav's Land-For-Jobs Scam
Last Updated: The CBI told a Delhi court that ineligible candidates were fraudulently appointed to Group-D railway jobs in exchange for undervalued land sold to Lalu Prasad Yadav's family. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday claimed that those who could not even write their names were given Group-D jobs in exchange for land deals by former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members. 'Signatures, transfer certificates and mark-sheets were all forged. Candidates have mentioned schools in their applications in which they were never enrolled," senior advocate and Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) DP Singh, representing the CBI before Delhi's Rouse Avenue court, said. On being asked if the forgery was done to show the candidates as eligible, Singh said, 'Yes, it is necessary to show that one has passed at least grade 8 to apply for the jobs." Further, the CBI also cited the existence of a school for the sole purpose of preparing forged certificates. The probe agency also claimed that land parcels were sold to Lalu Yadav's family at up to 60 per cent cheaper rate than the market, and that the transactions were in cash. On Monday, the CBI began its arguments on charges in the land for job scam case, in which Lalu Yadav, his family members, former public servants, and candidates are accused. Yadav is alleged to have granted railway jobs in exchange for land parcels from candidates or their relatives, either as gifts or at significantly reduced prices. Before the Delhi court, CBI's counsel gave a brief overview of the case and submitted that there is a sanction to prosecute Lalu Prasad Yadav and public servants in this case. It was further submitted that there is sufficient material evidence to frame charges against the accused persons for the offence they are charge sheeted. The Delhi High Court has already rejected the plea of Lalu Prasad Yadav seeking a stay on trial court proceedings. On May 31, the Delhi High Court had dismissed one of Lalu Yadav's pleas. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal had sought to quash the First Information Report (FIR), arguing that the CBI failed to obtain mandatory prior approval before proceeding with its inquiry. He contended that while approval was secured for others, it was not obtained in his case. The CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have investigated Lalu Prasad Yadav, his family, and several others in connection with the land-for-jobs case. First Published: June 04, 2025, 14:59 IST
