The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav of removing furniture, light fixtures, and air conditioners from the government bungalow he vacated.

"The base of the bed is missing, the AC and lights have been removed, and the water outlets in the washroom have been taken out. Even the badminton court mat has been taken, and the fountain lights and sofas have been taken. It's clear that when Tejashwi Yadav vacated the house, he took everything with him. This speaks volumes about his mentality," Danish Iqbal said, ANI reported.
"I'm not just accusing him, but it is completely proven. The way Tejashwi Yadav vacated his official residence, shows his upbringing. The way he vacated the house, he has displayed how to loot government's property," he added.

In another development, a Delhi court on Monday granted bail to RJD chief and former railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his sons, Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav, in the land-for-jobs money laundering case.
Special judge Vishal Gogne granted bail on a personal bond of ₹1 lakh each, noting that they were not arrested during the investigation.
The accused appeared in court in response to summons issued earlier, following the court's cognisance of a supplementary charge sheet filed against them by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 6. The ED's case is based on an FIR lodged by the CBI.
