THE action had been long awaited. The CBI raids on former Haryana chief minister Bhajan Lal and his sons' New Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh residences last week in connection with the Rs 3.55-crore Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) bribery case did not come as a surprise. But even when newspapers reported the seizure of cash and jewellery worth Rs 42 lakh from Bhajan Lal's residence, the wily politician from Haryana was not ruffled. Just after the raids, he rather confidently addressed a press conference in Chandigarh, claiming that "each paisa seized by the CBI is accounted for".
