Land mafia would be punished, Amit Shah tells RJD Chief Lalu Prasad

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah made scathing remarks against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad during the Pichda-Ati Pichda Mahasammelan (Backward-Extremely Backward Conference) organised by the OBC (Other Backward Class) Morcha of the party at Patna’s Paliganj on March 9.

“Lalu Prasad ji can never do any welfare work for the Backward and Extremely Backward Classes; he can only do one work and that is grabbing their land. I want to warn RJD that once again a double-engine government has come into power in Bihar and the land mafia would be punished,” Mr. Shah said while addressing the gathering.

He further asserted that the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government will form a committee to investigate cases in which land of poor people has been grabbed. Mr. Shah said those found guilty would be sent to jail.
