Priyanka expresses support for Lalu Prasad, says one who refuses to bow before BJP is harassed

A special CBI court on Tuesday convicted RJD supremo and former Bihar chief minister Yadav in the Rs 139.5 crore Doranda treasury embezzlement case, the fifth and final case against him in the fodder scam.

Soon after the conviction, the ailing 73-year-old politician was shifted to the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi and then he was admitted to the state-run Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).

Expressing support for Yadav, Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, “This is an important aspect of BJP’s politics that the one who refuses to bow before them is harassed in every possible way.”

भाजपा की राजनीति का ये अहम पहलू है कि जो भी उनके सामने झुकता नहीं है, उसको हर तरह से प्रताड़ित किया जाता है।

लालू प्रसाद यादव जी पर इसी राजनीति के चलते हमला किया जा रहा है। मुझे आशा है कि उन्हें न्याय जरूर मिलेगा।

“Lalu Prasad Yadav ji is being attacked because of this politics. I hope he will definitely get justice,” the Congress general secretary said.
