He also said that Yadavendu was in the service of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav when he was jailed in Ranchi. “Tejashwi Yadav should clarify that Pritam Kumar is still PS and he should also clarify who Sikander Kumar Yadavendu is. When Lalu Prasad Yadav was jailed in Ranchi, Sikander Kumar Yadavendu used to be in Lalu’s service… He was a JE in the irrigation department… He is playing with the future people. They committed fraud when they were in power and tried to influence the appointment process,” Sinha added.

The NEET the papers were leaked in three BJP-governed states, Bihar, Gujarat and Haryana. The involvement of BJP leaders is visible in these three places. The Union Education Minister is constantly saying that no papers have been leaked anywhere, while the opposition and lakhs of candidates are constantly saying that paper leaks have happened,” RJD tweeted.

The BJP retaliated, with party leader Amit Malviya saying, “Corrupt people have been caught and action taken. No wonder INDI Alliance refuses to accept defeat just because it wants to hide the paper leak episode.
