Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi 

Patna, April 15, 2017: The war of words between senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) intensified as the former said he was ready for a debate at RJD office on the charges he made against RJD chief Lalu Parasad's family regarding soil and land scam.

“Lalu ji is my elder brother, I am ready for debate at RJD office”, he said on Saturday before leaving for Bhubaneswar to attend BJP’s national executive committee meeting.

He said he would file a defamation case against RJD spokesperson for making false allegations against his family members.

RJD spokesperson Manoj Jha on Thursday challenged Modi for an open debate at BJP office regarding Modi’s allegations against Lalu clan.

Jha said that Modi should come forward for the debate at BJP office with me to justify all the charges he made against Lalu Prasad.

Jha also labeled counter charges against SK Modi apprehending doubt on educational qualification of Modi’s wife and benami property owned by the BJP leader.

“Who is the owner of the plush building located at road No 13 Rajendra Nagar? Modi’s brother RK Modi has real estate business in Gurgaon and that can be linked to benami property”, he said.

Earlier, Modi had unleashed another volley on Lalu family asking the source of income of Tej Pratap who purchased a piece of land for Rs 53 lakh at the age of 20.

“Tej Pratap also took a loan of more than Rs 2 crore citing this land”, he said.

He said Tej Pratap, now the health minister of Bihar and elder son of RJD national president Lalu Prasad, had hidden the facts in the affidavit filed in the Assembly election and also declaration of property submitted to the state government.
