In a fresh embarrassment to Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre, Giriraj Singh, Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, has been booked in a case of land grabbing along with 32 others in Danapur of Patna district.

On the direction of the Patna Civil court an FIR (NO: 54 / 2018) was lodged at the Danapur police station, on the outskirts of Patna against Mr. Singh, who is a BJP MP from Nawada in Bihar, allegedly for forcibly grabbing over 2 acres of land. Along with Mr. Singh 32 other persons too have been named in the case.

Resident of Asopur village in Danapur Ram Narayan Prasad had, earlier, petitioned in the SC/ST special court that 33 persons, including Mr. Singh had conspired to grab his over 2 acres of land for sale and purchase.

Danapur police station officer-in-charge Sandeep Kumar said that a case has been lodged against 33 persons, including Giriraj Singh under various sections of IPC and SC / ST as well.

Meanwhile, Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal has demanded Mr. Singh’s resignation.

“Will Bihar CM Nitish Kumar or his deputy in the cabinet Sushil Kumar Modi ask Giriraj Singh to resign from his post…he is the same Giriraj Singh from whose house crores of rupees were seized after he had become minister in the Narendra Modi cabinet”, charged leader of opposition, Tejaswi Yadav.

Mr. Yadav also questioned the stance taken by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Modi on the issue. “Would he now break the coalition with the BJP or, he would resign from his post on the call of his conscienc?. Why is country’s biggest afwah mian (rumor master), Sushil Modi keeping quiet on the issue of Giriraj Singh?”, asked the RJD leader.

Why only this hate monger.  You will find many many more.  95 percent of bjp ministers are looters/decoits/killers/goondas etc etc.  One looter in karnataka is trying to come back to power once again.  Will SC take any action on this land grabber.   SC should seize all his bank accounts and properties.  there might me many properties registered in his close relative names.  SC should investigate this and make it open to public.  However, we should not expect any comments from our non-resident PM.
