The land-for-jobs scam dates back to 2004-2009, when Lalu was the Railway Minister in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government and recruitment for Group D posts took place in the Jabalpur Zone of the West Central Railway. It was alleged that the accused had allegedly asked candidates to transfer their land to their family and associates at a low price in exchange for jobs. On May 18, 2022, CBI filed a chargesheet against 16 people, including Lalu, Rabri, their two daughters, Tejashwi and several others.
Before departing for Delhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi told in Patna airport that the ruling party is upset by his announcement of providing jobs but he will do what he has promised. Every family in Bihar will have a government job within 20 months of the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government, he reiterated.

Tejashwi further said that when they were in power, government jobs were provided to millions of unemployed youth. "The youth of Bihar know very well who can work for them and will support the India bloc this time, as their hopes will be fulfilled only if the grand alliance forms the government. Bihar will see a major change after November 14 when Assembly election results will be declared," he said.
"We have promised to provide a government job to one person in every household, and I will definitely fulfill that promise. November 14 onwards, Bihar will be free from unemployment," Tejashwi said.
On reaching New Delhi airport, Tejashwi said, "We have come to Delhi because the court has asked us to come here."
