Addressing a press conference after appearing before the special CBI courts here in connection with the multi crore fodder scam case, he said that unemployment was at an all time high in the country over which the prime minister needed to give answers. He said that in the tenure of the BJP farmers were committing suicide, journalists were being killed while owners of big newspapers have been made a puppet in the hands of the government. He said that a fear was prevailing in the country.

He said that the opposition was being implicated in false cases so that they can keep their mouths shut. Mr Prasad said that a conspiracy was being hatched to break the nation. He said that now BJP has turned its eye on the Santhal Pargana but the tribals of the region are with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha. He alleged that honest contractors were not being paid in Bihar and said that there was no law prevailing in the state. Mr Yadav said that people were reeling due to the effects of GST.

He said that in Jharkhand the Raghubar Das government has completed 1000 days in power but the tribals are not getting due respect.
