Former chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Rabri Devi on Wednesday alleged a conspiracy on the part of the government to kill her and her family after jawans posted at her residence packed up this morning. “It’s conspiracy by Nitish Kumar, Sushil Modi and govt. Lalu Ji is in jail and dying every day, don’t know if he’s dying due to disease or being killed using medicines. His sugar level is rising. How do I trust govt? If govt asks us to vacate our house we’re ready to do it,” ANI quoted Rabri Devi as saying.

The RJD leader has also written a letter to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar saying “if any untoward incident takes place with me & my family, home ministry will be held responsible”.

Jawans of the Bihar Military Police deployed at the former CM’s residence were reportedly ordered to leave the premises late last night. One ASI, four head conatables and 12 BMP commandos, who were deployed for Lalu Prasad’s security , were withdrawn on the orders of S K Singhal, ADG, Headquarters. Lalu Yadav is currently serving time in jail after conviction in fodder scam cases.

IG, Security, Bacchu Sigh Meena, however, told the indianexpress.com that the security of Lalu Yadav’s has neither been increased nor cut down. The security guards return to the parent cadre on their own in the absence of the person in whose name they are deployed, he added.

RJD leader and Rabri’s son Tejashwi Yadav had last night attacked Nitish Kumar for the security slash.

In a series of tweets, Tejashwi said, “Just now at the stroke of midnight, Nitish Kumar has called back 18 House guards deployed in the security of two ex-CMs. Surrendering our security to Nitish Ji so that he can increase his own security as he is the most namby-pamby CM of the country.”

Tejashwi said they had taken security on the ground of him being the Leader of the Opposition, Rabri being a former CM and Tej Pratap being an MLA, adding he and his brother were also giving up their security so that the state government would stop indulging in ‘petty politics’ and did some development work.

Tejashwi also alleged that Nitish had sent him a notice to vacate the government residence where he currently lives. This, he said, came hours after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Rabri Devi on Tuesday in connection with the IRCTC hotel tender case, which allegedly took place while his father and RJD chief Lalu Prasad was the railway minister.
