The Land-for-Jobs scam case reached a crucial stage in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court. On Wednesday, the court heard arguments on the CBI chargesheet against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife and former Bihar CM Rabri Devi, Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, and others. The judge reserved the order, setting October 13, 2025, as the date for the verdict.
The CBI claims that during his time as Railway Minister, Lalu Prasad arranged jobs in return for land deals. Several plots in Bihar allegedly moved into the names of his family members. Investigators filed multiple cases and charges against Lalu’s relatives and associates after years of inquiry.
The reserved order has triggered political tension in Bihar. If convicted, the Yadav family may face serious damage to its political future. The outcome could also affect the RJD’s standing and the INDIA bloc’s prospects in the state elections.
Analysts believe the verdict will shape both politics and governance in Bihar. A conviction may weaken RJD’s alliance position, while an acquittal could energize its campaign. All eyes now remain on October 13, when the court’s decision could reset Bihar’s political stage.
