Tejashwi Prasad Yadav

The meeting at Kharge's residence comes amid talks of like-minded opposition parties coming together on a common platform to defeat the BJP in next year's Lok Sabha elections.

The meeting at Kharge's residence comes amid talks of Opposition unity ahead of the 2024 general elections.

The 33-year-old Yadav, the son of RJD chief and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad, reached the federal agency's office in central Delhi in a carcade around 10:45 AM.

Tejashwi Yadav got married to his long-time friend Rachel Godinho in December 2021.

Yadav had missed three earlier dates given by the agency and arrived at the CBI headquarters here at around 10:30 am according to his commitment to the Delhi High Court last week, they said.

On March 15, a special CBI court granted bail to Yadav's father Lalu Prasad, mother Rabri Devi — both former Bihar chief ministers — sister Misa Bharti and others in the land-for-jobs "scam" case.

Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma recorded the CBI counsel's statement that the agency was not thinking about arresting Tejashwi Yadav in this month.

The RJD leader, who is currently away in Delhi, also said the BJP will be left embarrassed if he made public the ”panchnama” (seizure list) signed after the raids.

The RJD leader, who is currently away in Delhi beside his wife who is expecting their first child, also said the BJP will be left embarrassed if he made public the "panchnama" (seizure list) signed after the raids.

Yadav was earlier called for questioning on March 4 but he had not appeared before the CBI sleuths, following which a fresh date was given for Saturday, they said.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also alleged that the opposition leaders who are not ready to bow before the BJP are being "harassed" through the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation.

"Chief Minister Nitish Kumar yesterday took note of reports and asked the officials here to get in touch with their counterparts in Tamil Nadu. The DGP of that state has also come out with a video statement in English. I have got it translated in Hindi", said the Deputy CM.

The JD(U) leader, who has been sulking ever since the Bihar CM ruled him out as his second deputy, besides RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, made a statement to the effect at a function in Patna.

Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, her counterpart from Jharkhand Hemant Soren, Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and Odisha cabinet minister Pradeep Amat were attending the meet, which is expected to last for around two hours, they said.

The septuagenarian JD(U) supremo, once again, ruled himself out as a prime ministerial candidate for the next Lok Sabha polls even as he maintained that a "united opposition" could defeat the Narendra Modi-led BJP in 2024.

The RJD heir apparent made the disclosure at a rally in Kurhani assembly segment.

Special Judge Geetanjali Goel, however, asked Yadav to be more careful and choose appropriate words.

Granting time to Yadav's counsel to file response, Special Judge (CBI) Geetanjali Goel directed personal appearance of the RJD leader on October 18.

The Bihar chief minister also asserted that his efforts should reap benefits for the younger generation, "for people like (his deputy) Tejashwi Yadav".

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader said the coming to power of the Mahagathbandhan government with the JD(U), the RJD, the Congress and other parties uniting "augurs well for opposition unity".
