Bihar Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Sanjay Jaiswal claimed on Tuesday that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav wanted the Central Government to shield his family from corruption cases and was willing to support his party in forming government in the State in return.
Mr. Jaiswal told PTI that Mr. Yadav had made this offer to Union Minister Nityanand Rai on a flight and added the RJD leader's claim that Mr. Rai had wanted to join his party was made in frustration because the BJP had refused to "compromise" with corruption.
This was the only time Mr. Rai had met Mr. Yadav, he said.
