Addressing a presser at Press Club of India, Manjhi said that the CBI had on July 5, 2017, registered a case against the then Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, his wife and former CM Rabri Devi, his son Tejaswi Yadav, two Directors of a private Hotel Ltd. Company, and others on the allegations of awarding the tender for development, maintenance and operation of BNR Hotels at Ranchi and Puri to said private Hotel Ltd. Company in 2006.

Manjhi said that Tejaswi should have resigned himself. But, the RJD has ruled out the possibility of his resignation in the wake of CBI registering a case against him while Nitish Kumar on July 11 gave him four days’ time  to make his stand clear though he should have sacked him immediately as he keeps talking about his zero tolerance against corruption.
