- 

As Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for around nine hours in connection with the land-for-jobs scam case, his daughter Misa Bharti, hit out at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre, saying that the actions by the probe agency against his father reflects that the Central government is 'afraid' of him.

A large number of RJD workers were present after the RJD supremo came out of the probe agency's office in Patna.

"He (Lalu) cannot eat himself, someone will have to feed him. We do not know whether he has eaten or not. No ED official is ready to speak...Since elections are near, the PM is scared and will do such things only. This government can (arrest) my father also, but what will they get by arresting a sick man," Misa said.

Earlier in the day, Lalu Yadav arrived at the office of the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) here for questioning in connection with the alleged Land for Job scam.
