Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Tejashwi Yadav accused BJP of targetting his father, former Bihar Cheif Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.
On conviction of his father, in the fifth fodder scam case, Tejashwi Yadav said, “If Lalu Ji would have shaken hands with the BJP then he would have been called Raja Harishchandra. But he is fighting against RSS- BJP. Hence, he is facing imprisonment. We’ll not get scared with this.”
He further stated, “Lalu ji has said that he would never bow down to the BJP.” Further speaking on the verdict, Tejashwi Yadav said that the CBI has forgotten other scamsters like Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi while they were after Lalu Prasad Yadav’s case.
“Apart from the fodder scam, it seems like no other scam has happened in the country. In Bihar, almost 80 scams happened but where is the CBI, ED, NIA? The CBI has forgotten Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi”, said the RJD leader.
“The CBI court has sentenced Lalu Ji in the case. We will now go to the High Court. There are still High Court and Supreme Court. I believe that the verdict in the higher courts will be in favour of Lalu Ji.” “People of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are watching the way the BJP is treating Lalu Ji. The people of UP will give an answer in the elections,” he added.
Reportedly, the special CBI court here on Monday sentenced former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to five years’ imprisonment in the final and fifth fodder scam case. The special court also slapped a Rs 60 Lakh fine in connection with the case.
