In the midst of the NEET controversy, Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha has raised serious allegations involving Tejashwi Yadav and his personal secretary, Pritam Kumar, in the paper leak case. Sinha claims that Pritam Kumar made arrangements for a guesthouse room for Sikander Kumar Yadavendu, a former Junior Engineer linked to Lalu Prasad Yadav.
"On May 1, Tejashwi Yadav's personal secretary Pritam Kumar called guesthouse worker Pradip Kumar to book a room for Sikander Kumar Yadavendu. On May 4, Pritam Kumar called Pradip Kumar again to book the room. The word 'mantri' was used for Tejashwi Yadav," Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha said.
Sinha has called on Tejashwi Yadav to clarify Pritam Kumar's current status.
Tejashwi Yadav should clarify if Pritam Kumar is still his PS, Sinha said.
He also questioned the identity of Sikander Kumar Yadavendu. "When Lalu Prasad Yadav was jailed in Ranchi, Sikander Kumar Yadavendu used to be at Lalu's service. He was a JE in the irrigation department. They play with the future of the people. They do scams when they are in power and they try to influence the appointment process," Sinha added.
Guesthouse worker Pradip Kumar confirmed Sinha's claims. "Pritam called me and asked me to book a room for Sikander Kumar on May 1 and then again on May 4. I asked for a requisition, on which he said that it would be given by them," Pradip Kumar said.
