Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Cobweb of corruption” (July 10). It does not surprise anyone to see lalu Prasad and his family involved in another scam, given the kind of shoddy past lalu Prasad and his family members have had. He and his family amassed huge illegal wealth during his and wife Rabri Devi’s regime in Bihar.
Someone who was involved in large-scale embezzlement of Government funds by producing fake currency and indulged in Rs 1,000 crore scam should not say that he is being targeted by the ruling party. The chain of events in lARA project (an acronym for lalu and Rabri) clearly proves that rules and norms were clearly manipulated to accommodate Sujata Hotels private limited and Sarla Gupta gradually transferred land to lalu’s wife and son Tejashwi Prasad.
At least, the Congress should not say the word about ‘misuse’ of Central Bureau of Investigation as during it’s 10 year rule the bureau was a toy of its hand. Since lalu’s Deputy Chief Minister son, Tejashwi is also being charged in this scam, Tejashwi Prasad should resign from his post or Nitish Kumar should sack him immediately, despite the coalition with the Rashtriya Janata Dal created by lalu Prasad.
