RJD leader Manoj Jha on Friday alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate were following "someone else's script" in conducting searches against opposition leaders and asserted the "raids" against his party leaders were a "reaction" to the change in government in Bihar in August last year.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches in multiple cities, including on the premises of former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav's three daughters and RJD leaders, on Thursday in connection with a money-laundering probe into the land-for-jobs 'scam' case. Officials said the case pertains to people allegedly given employment in the railways in return for land parcels gifted or sold at cheap rates to the Yadav family and its associates. Both Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi were questioned by the CBI in this case recently.
