He said Nitish’s corrupt practices continued even after he became Chief Minister. Nothing exemplifies this better than the allegations launched by the then Excise Minister, Jamshed Ashraf, last year. He said Ashraf before being dismissed charged the Chief Minister Secretariat of scam worth hundreds of crores in the Excise department.

It needs to be recalled that on Friday a CBI officer testified in a special court in Ranchi that Nitish had received money in the fodder scam.

The LJP chief said that the CAG report also pointed out gross irregularities to the tune of thousands of crores in the state expenditure. Yet Janata Dal (United) and its allies BJP are repeated demanding the resignation of Delhi chief minister, Sheila Dikshit.

He said former Union Minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and Congress MP Suresh Kalmadi are in jail over findings of the CAG. If that is so why Nitish is still ruling Bihar.

CBI official testifying before CBI court a few days ago in Ranchi, Jharkhand, that CM Bihar Nitish Kumar had also taken money from mega smam-ADH scam or fodder scammsters and subsequent state ment of Ram Bilas Paswan demanding Nitish's resignation and also referring many scams during Nitish regime and his alleged involvement in scams in Bihar during his chief minister! It is a fact that Nitish Kumar had taken huge money from AHD scamsters- This had been corroborrated from the facts in the past while a giving a confessional statement of admission of guilt and giving money to Nitish kumar , totalling over Rs 22 lakh by one R N Das, an official of the AHD department before the CBI- At that time matter was subdued by media while giving main concentration on Laloo Prasad Yadav, who was one of the main alleged beneficiaries of AHD scams fund. Top officials of the CBI had also informed the media that time many leaders like Nitish Kumar were beneficiaries of the scams as per concrete papers with CBI and also confessional statement of Das before the CBI investigative officials. But reasons best known to CBI even after the confessional statement of Das ,and more evidences against Nitish, matter was not taken up seriously and Nitish Kumar went scott free from the charges and practically CBI did nothing that time to take legal and criminal action against Nitish!
After six years of rule of NDA led by Nitish Kumar in Bihar many matter of financial embezzelments have started coming to surfance- many media like news magazine of repute like Frontline have carried a comprehensive report on scams after scams during Nitish rule in Bihar-electronic media have also started highlighting the scams in Bihar. Charges of former excise minister Jamshed Alam about alleged bungling of funds to the tune of crores of rupees in excise department by both CM Nitish Kumar and deputy CM Sushil Modi, CAG bringing to the notice crores of rupees not adjustable in expenditure heads,and expressing apprehension of bungling of fund to the tune over 2200 crore from 2003 to 2009, Biada land scams, rampant rise oin corruption right from state headquarters to block level and many many more scams of shiphoning of funds have also surfaced. Thus gradually matter of scams during Nitish rule have started coming to surface. And time is not so far, Nitish will be put in dock for these scams and lapses.by people vigilant to lapses!Nitish should also explain to poeople on these scores.!
