Lot Of Efforts Being Made To Change Constitution: RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav

"Today the country is changing. The communal powers have more say now in the country," RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav said.

New Delhi: Former Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Thursday took a veiled swipe at the BJP-led central government, saying that the "communal powers" have become more powerful in the country now.

He claimed that several attempts have been made to change the country's Constitution.

While addressing the book launch of 'Sadak Se Sansad Tak', he said, "Today the country is changing. The communal powers have more say now in the country. A lot of attempts have been made to change India's Constitution."

Meanwhile, last week, a Delhi court had issued summons to the former Bihar CM in connection with the alleged land-for-jobs scam case. Besides Yadav, former Railway officials have also been asked to appear before Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on October 4.

On September 12, the CBI had apprised the court that sanction to prosecute Lalu Prasad Yadav was obtained from the Home Ministry in a fresh chargesheet in the case. The development came after the court, in July, granted CBI time to obtain sanction to prosecute the Bihar leader and other accused persons.

The case pertains to alleged corruption when Lalu Prasad Yadav served as Railway Minister in the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2009.

The CBI has alleged that people were given jobs in Railways allegedly in lieu of land plots. The probe agnecy has further alleged that the RJD supremo and his family acquired more than 1 lakh sqft of land for a paltry Rs 26 lakh when its then cumulative market value was around Rs 4.40 crore.
