BJP has maligned image of CBI, ED: RJD's Manoj Jha

Slamming ED questioning of Bihar's deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, senior RJD leader Manoj Jha accused BJP of undermining the independence of central investigating agencies.

"BJP has maligned the image of CBI and the ED. Now, when someone says that these institutions are investigating certain parties or leaders, it becomes evident that they are working on the script given by the BJP," Jha told ET on Friday. "They have started investigating a case which was closed and now they are questioning our leader Tejashwi Yadav. It is the frustration of losing the government in Bihar in August 2022 that the BJP is trying to settle scores through these agencies."

Jha said, "I would suggest to BJP to fight politically and not hide behind the agencies. When they are out of power, a repeat of this may happen with them also."
