News India Live, Digital Desk: When the politics of Bihar and the ‘hand of law’ collide, some such news comes out which not only remain in the headlines, but also raise questions on the system of democracy. Nowadays ‘Land for Job’ scam is in discussion and this CBI special judge That strong comment, which has put Lalu Yadav’s family in trouble.
In politics, allegations and counter-allegations keep going on, but when it is heard from within the court that a government department has been used as a “personal fiefdom”, then the matter becomes serious. Let us understand why the judge said this and what is the real story behind it.
What is this matter of ‘personal property’ and ‘criminal enterprise’?
Considering the seriousness of the case, the special CBI court clearly said that the manner in which appointments were made in the Railways was not a common administrative mistake. In the words of the judge, this is a “Criminal Enterprise” (Criminal Empire) It was like setting up, where the entire system was misused.
It is alleged that when Lalu Yadav was the Railway Minister, he gave place to such people in Group-D recruitments who in return transferred their ancestral land in the name of Lalu family members. In the court’s view, this is not just a case of corruption, but an attempt to run a prestigious government institution of the country (Indian Railways) like a home farm.
The real reason for the judge’s displeasure
The court believes that the rules and regulations were completely ignored.
- Straight ground game: No advertisement, no merit – just got the land registered and got the job.
- Lack of transparency: The positions which were the rights of thousands and lakhs of youth were used for personal transactions.
The judge also clearly pointed out that adopting such a working style while holding a high post is a big violation of the dignity of the post and constitutional propriety.
Will this change the politics of Bihar?
After this news came in Bihar, the war of words has intensified. While the NDA camp is calling it a “victory of truth”, RJD supporters are calling it a “conspiracy to suppress opposition leaders”. But it is not so easy to forget what has been recorded in the pages of the law. Tejashwi Yadav, Misa Bharti and Lalu Prasad Yadav – the legal path for all of them has now become quite rocky.
The biggest thing is that this matter is no longer limited to just the trial, but these comments of the court are also influencing the ‘public opinion’. For the common youth, who works hard day and night for the Railway examination, this network of “land for job” is a big shock.
What next?
From the strictness with which the court has used the term “criminal empire”, it can be guessed that the upcoming hearing is not going to be pleasant for the Lalu family. As testimonies and evidence emerge, this ‘Pandora’s Box’ will reveal more mysteries.
Now it will be interesting to see how the RJD leadership recovers from these tough legal attacks. One thing is clear – Indian Railways is the property of the country, and the tag of being someone’s ‘fiefdom’ leaves a deep wound on the credibility of this institution.
How do you see this whole news? Have the court’s words expressed the sentiments of the people of Bihar? Please let us know in the comments.
