'Similar to your father'

State Information and Public Relations Neeraj Kumar said that Tejashwi was similar to his dad in terms of carrying out illegal transactions. He said, "Your father was a land dealer and carrying his legacy forward, you have developed a new technique in the benami property chain and entangled an extremely backward class person in the web of forgery to begin the royal journey. The royal bus parked at 10 Circular Road for the royal journey of Tejashwi Yadav is registered with Mangal Pal, a BPL cardholder, who belongs to one of the extremely backward communities of Bakhtiyarpur block's Hidayatpur village. The BPL list approved by Block Development Officer, Bakhtiyarpur and Deputy Development Commissioner, Patna on Feb 20, 2008, reveals that the person's number 210 with a unique number - 19451, so you can get a better idea of his economic condition."
