PATNA: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday made a big expose claiming that state's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Modi were direct beneficiaries in the multi-crore Srijan scam.
The former Bihar deputy chief minister also gave bank statement of Srijan as proof in support of his claim.
The RJD leader claimed that ''Sushil Modi’s sister Rekha and niece Urvashi received crores of Rupees from the Srijan Scam.''

''Here are bank statements of Srijan to prove transactions,'' he said in a tweet.
Claiming that Sushil Modi and Nitish Kumar are direct parties in the Rs 2500-crore Srijan scam, Tejashwi asked why CBI was not naming and calling them for questioning.
2500 Crores of State exchequer were looted for years in #SrijanScam under the able guidance of Deputy CM cum Finance Minister Sushil Modi and sound & known patronage of CM Nitish Kumar.

The fresh expose from Tejashwi comes after Sushil Modi fired a fresh corruption salvo at him and accused him of serving as the "handling and storage agent" of a leading steel company in the country.
Addressing a press conference, Sushil also alleged that Tejashwi did not declare this information in his affidavit before the Election Commission when he made his electoral debut in the Bihar assembly polls of 2015 and accused him of evading taxes on the earnings made in aforementioned capacity.
Rattled by the fresh attack, the RJD heir apparent came out with a number of tweets calling the Deputy Chief Minister "a master of rumours" and challenged him to get all the allegations investigated.
I request Media houses who are against corruption & loot of state exchequer to investigate & report #SrijanScam genuinely. There are clear & sound proof evidences of involvement of CM, Dy CM, BJP , JDU ministers & leaders in this huge scam.First Nitish led EOW manipulated records — Tejashwi Yadav (@yadavtejashwi) June 28, 2018
"Tejashwi Yadav has been doing business worth millions as the handling and storage agent of Jindal Steel and Power Limited. He was appointed as the company's handling and storage agent at Patna on September 28, 2012", the senior BJP leader.
Sushil Modi, who holds the finance portfolio, said this while distributing copies of the Stockyard Agreement purportedly with signatures of the RJD heir apparent.
"The question is, why did he conceal this information so far. Why did he not disclose the property he has acquired for the purpose and the income that he may have earned through this business in his declaration of assets before the Election Commission", the Deputy CM asked.
"In his VAT returns, Tejashwi Yadav has always been showing his turn-over as zero. He should explain how is it possible when his earnings by the enterprise itself were likely to have fetched him crores", Sushil, who has come up with many allegations of financial wrongdoings against the Yadav family, often with documents to buttress his claim, said.
"We will write to the Election Commission as well as the Income Tax department, drawing their attention towards the irregularities", he warned.
Tejashwi reacted to the allegations with the tweet "you are the king of falsehood. You have been alleging that we were getting a mall constructed at the cost of Rs 750 crore. Now even Enforcement Directorate and the IT Department are putting the value of the said mall at no more than Rs 45 crore. Why do you not get investigations ordered instead of distracting people with bare allegations".
In a couple of subsequent tweets, the 28-year-old RJD leader made oblique references to alleged involvement of close relatives of the Deputy CM in the multi-crore Srijan scam and called him an "incompetent spokesman for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar" and added "you would be able to cause no harm to Tejashwi, who may be young but has integrity".
