Patna (Bihar): BJP MLA Lalan Paswan on Thursday said that he has filed an FIR against Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo for his alleged horse-trading attempt.
Speaking exclusively to ETV Bharat, Paswan said he had full faith in the law, and believed the jailed RJD supremo's poaching attempt would qualify as an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Paswan said he has filed an FIR against Yadav at the vigilance police station.
Earlier yesterday, social media went abuzz with an audio clip of Lalu Prasad Yadav purportedly telephoning BJP MLA Lalan Paswan in a horse-trading bid. The purported call from Prasad, who is at Ranchi, serving sentences in a number of fodder scam cases was allegedly made to the Pirpainti MLA Lalan Paswan.
Former Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi, a trenchant critic of the RJD supremo, had late on Tuesday night tweeted that Prasad was trying to poach NDA MLAs, alluring them with the promise of ministerial berths. He spilled the beans on his Twitter handle shortly before the Assembly elected BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha as the Speaker.
