Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has attributed his mother Rabri Devi's questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the land-for-jobs case to political developments in the country, including the recent defeat of the BJP in Karnataka and the upcoming state election next year. According to NDTV, Tejashwi Yadav expressed confidence that Bihar was being targeted due to fears arising from these shifts and stated that he himself may be implicated in the case in the future, but remains undeterred, claiming innocence.
