Patna: The RJD on Friday demanded that Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar and JD(U) Spokesman Shivanand Tiwari
should undergo "a lie detector test" to verify the allegations
that they were beneficiaries of the multi-crore rupees
fodder scam.
"The CBI should bring Kumar, Tiwari, besides former JD(U)
president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan under the ambit of
investigation in the fodder scam case in the wake of the
recorded statement of D Chandok, a fodder scam accused,"
leader of opposition in the state Abdul Bari Siddiqui told
reporters here.
The RJD leader said all the three, including the CM,
must undergo "a lie detector test" and the CBI must take note
of the seriousness of the allegations.
"We raised the issue through adjournment notices several
times in the state assembly but the Speaker rejected them," he
said, adding it was not not good for the "parliamentary
democracy."
"Let the Chief Minister clarify as to whether the
statements recorded by the fodder scam accused like S B Sinha
and D Chandok alleging that the three took illegal
gratifications for election purposes are true or false," he
said.
Nitish Kumar had already denied the charges of
opposition.
