With Rs. 6 Crore Found On Officer's Wife, Bihar's Bhagalpur Scam Widens | Read

The new government of Bihar that took charge last month after Nitish Kumar's party revived a partnership with BJP, ditching an alliance with Lalu Yadav and the Congress over corruption charges against the Yadav family, has encountered its first speed bump. Ironically, the bump is yet another corruption charge. In pictures being propagated by the newly-relegated opposition, a union minister and a senior leader of the BJP are shown with Manorama Devi, the founder of a non-profit that has found itself at the centre of a corruption scandal touching Rs. 700 crore at the latest count.
