In a significant development regarding the IRCTC scam, Rouse Avenue Court's CBI division has framed charges against Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav. The court described it as a case of fraud and conspiracy, highlighting the abuse of power. Following the court's decision, Tejashwi Yadav expressed his thoughts.
Tejashwi remarked that during election times, such events are expected. He emphasized his respect for the judiciary, stating that they have always fought against adversities and will continue to do so. 'There is a unique thrill in facing storms,' he declared, underscoring his commitment to perseverance. 'We've chosen the path of struggle, and we will be both good travelers and achievers of our goals.'
He further added that in his opinion, there's no need for excessive concern. Bihar's people are wise; they understand the situation. Tejashwi observed that from the beginning, these issues have been politically motivated. He recalled how his father, known as a historic railway minister, managed to deliver a profit of ₹90,000 crore to the Railways while also reducing fares with each budget.
Tejashwi noted how students, from Harvard to IIM, came to learn from Laluji, who was recognized as a management guru. 'Bihar's and the nation's citizens know the truth,' he said. 'As long as the BJP exists and I live, we will continue to stand against it.'
