RJD leaders holding a press conference in Patna on Saturday.Patna: A day after the Patna High Court declared that a CBI probe in the alleged Rs. 11,412 was not required immediately, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders Ram Kripal Yadav and Shakeel Ahmed Khan, at a press conference in Patna on Saturday, advised the ruling NDA not to open the champagne bottle yet as the court had merely delayed the CBI investigation and had not exonerated the Chief Minister on corruption charges.

"The NDA leaders are treating the court's decision to delay the CBI investigation as if they have been cleared by the court of any wrongdoing. The fact of the matter is that the Patna High Court, in its July 15 decree, wrote that there was ample evidence that money was looted from the treasury and people in top positions could be responsible for it," Khan said.

Khan and Yadav, who would rather talk about charges of corruption and making fresh allegations instead of their vision for Bihar, further said that the current administration was headed for a showdown with the Patna High Court and the Governor's office after both institutions refused to act as the Chief Minister's puppet.

"If they are innocent of any wrongdoing then why are they afraid of the CBI probe?" Yadav asked.
