In support of their allegation for ''job for land'' scam, both leaders alleged that the witnesses of the CBI in the Disproportionate asset (DA) case against Mr Prasad - Rampani Yadav alias Mukhiya and his relatives and Shankar Yadav - were provided with jobs in Railways.
Further, Mr Prasad also suitably compensated one of the senior scribes with life long free railway pass for deposing in his favour before the court, they alleged.
They said instead of releasing the list of appointments made in the Railways during the regime of Mr Nitish Kumar, the RJD should also publish the entire list of the appointments made from 2004 to 2008.
