Patna (Bihar) [India], January 2 : Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashvi Yadav supported Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha's statement that the PM Narendra Modi has asked central investigative agencies to be "hyperactive" against opposition leaders till the Ram Janmabhoomi temple inauguration, adding now that elections are over in the Hindi heartland states, the "agencies" are travelling to other states.
"He is right. He did not say anything wrong. Earlier, ED raids were going on in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Now that elections are over in these states, they (ED) are going to other states. I have said this earlier as well," Yadav told ANI on Tuesday.
The Deputy Chief Minister, however, said that this is not the fault of the "agencies" as they are under a lot of political pressure from the central government.
"There is no fault of agencies in this, they are under pressure...," Yadav said.
The Deputy Chief Minister added that these raids have become a "routine" exercise now.
"It has become routine now," Yadav said.
