Fodder Scam: Lalu May Get 7 Years Imprisonment
Lalu Yadav can be imprisoned for up to 7 years. Because under the sections in which they have been found guilty, there is a provision of punishment of minimum one year and maximum up to seven years. Law experts are telling that if this happens, then Lalu may have to petition the Jharkhand High Court for bail. On the other hand, if the punishment is 3 years or less, then a petition can be filed in this special court of CBI.
Priyanka Vadra came out in support of Lalu Yadav
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Vadra gave a statement in favor of Lalu Yadav. BJP also got a chance to take a dig at this. The BJP said, ‘Chor-chor cousin brother.’ Priyanka had said, “The RJD supremo is being targeted politically because he refused to bow down to the BJP. The main aspect of BJP’s politics is that those who do not bow before them are harassed in every way. Lalu Prasad Yadav ji is being attacked because of this politics. I hope they get justice.
