New Delhi:  RJD chief Lalu Prasad has asserted he will not rest till FIRs are lodged against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi in the alleged Srijan scam.

Intensifying his attack on the two leaders, he alleged that that the scam was in the knowledge of both of them.

"We will take the matter to the logical conclusion. We will not rest unless FIRs are lodged against Nitish Kumar and Sushil Modi in the scam," Prasad said. He also asked why the two have not been booked already in the case.

Referring to Nitish Kumars "suicidal street play" remark, Prasad said he reckoned that it was a "warning" but he will continue his fight to expose those involved in the scam.

"It was a suicidal street play (atmaghati nukkad-natak) which will cost him (Prasad) heavily," Kumar had said while commenting on the public meeting of the RJD chief and his son Tejashwi at Bhagalpur.

Refuting Kumar’s claim that he first detected the scam after an incident of cheque bouncing surfaced on August 7 this year, Prasad today alleged that cheques bounced several times between July 10 to July 29, 2017.

"Why did Nitish Kumar hide the issue of cheque bouncing for 27 days,"  Prasad said.  
"Why has he not come out with a public explanation so far, whereas Kumar used to tell Tejashwi to explain in public the charges levelled against him," Prasad said.

He claimed that the 2008 CAG report clearly stated about the alleged scam related to irregularities in allocation of fund to NGO Srijan, but Kumar chose to remain silent instead of taking steps to stop the scam.

Why did Nitish Kumar make "so many frequent visits to Delhi between July 10 and July 26", Prasad asked, and claimed that that the CM was told that if he breaks the grand alliance, nothing would happen to him.
