Tejashwi took away ACs, taps from bungalow: NDA

PATNA: Senior BJP and JD(U) functionaries in Bihar on Monday accused former deputy CM Tejashwi Prasad Yadav of taking away furniture, water taps, and other items while vacating the official bungalow allotted to him on Patna’s Deshratna Marg during the grand alliance govt. RJD has dismissed the charges.
Union minister Giriraj Singh termed the alleged act by Tejashwi as “unfortunate” and “shameful”.

He demanded an inquiry into the matter and suggested lodging an FIR against Tejashwi. ” It points to the mindset of someone who dreams of becoming the chief minister of the state. How much money was spent on the furnishing of the deputy CM’s bungalow when it was occupied by Tejashwi and what all remained after the items were taken away? “
State BJP media in charge Danish Iqbal said the missing items included an expensive mat for a badminton court, a sofa set, an AC, a hydraulic bed, a wash basin, and several water taps. “We have been appalled to see a whole lot of items missing from the bungalow,” he told reporters.
JD(U) spokesman and MLC Neeraj Kumar took a cautious approach. “If the allegations are true, it amounts to misuse of govt property funded by taxpayers’ money,” he said, adding deputy CM Samrat Choudhary should ensure that action is taken.

However, RJD spokesman Chitranjan Gagan rejected the allegations.
“Tejashwi vacated the bungalow two days ago. Workers of Samrat Choudhary were present at that time. They are indulging in character assassination because Tejashwi got bail in the land-for-jobs case,” Gagan added.
