Prime minister Narendra Modi is not keen to bring black money stashed abroad as it belongs to his “corporate friends” and BJP leaders, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said on Sunday.
“The BJP-led (central) government does not want to bring back black money from abroad,” Lalu Prasad wrote on his Twitter handle.
विदेश में जमा काला धन वापस नहीं लाना चाहती बीजेपी क्योंकि वो अरबों करोड़ रु का सारा काला धन मोदी के पूंजीपति मित्रों और भाजपा नेताओं का है.

He explained, “Black money in foreign banks mostly (belong to) Modi’s corporate friends and BJP leaders. It is the main reason why the central government is not keen to bring it back.”
He also said that people in villages and towns were feeling cheated by Modi on the issue as the prime minister, while campaigning for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, had promised to bring back black money stashed abroad.
बिहार में हताश,उदास,निराश हो चुकी बीजेपी हारी हुई लड़ाई को अपने काले धन के नंगे नाच से जीतना चाहती है।बिहारियों ने ठाना है भाजपा को भगाना है

The former Bihar chief minister said, “Modi promised to deposit Rs.15 lakh in the bank account of everyone but not a single penny was deposited. The government has failed to bring black money nearly one and a half years after coming to power.”
Lalu Prasad’s attack on Modi comes days ahead of the first phase of the Bihar assembly elections.
Polling to the 243-member Bihar assembly will take place in five phases starting from 12 October while the counting would start on 8 November.
