Anyone who refuses to bow before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is “harassed” in every possible way, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Friday while expressing support for Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav, who has been convicted in the final case of the fodder scam..
“This is an important aspect of BJP’s politics that the one who refuses to bow before them is harassed in every possible way. Lalu Prasad Yadavji is being attacked because of this kind of politics. I hope he will definitely get justice,” Ms. Vadra tweeted in support of Mr. Yadav.
On Tuesday, a special CBI court had convicted the former Bihar Chief Minister in the ₹139.5 crore Doranda treasury embezzlement case, the fifth and final case against him in the fodder scam.
After the conviction, the 73-year-old politician was shifted to the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi and then admitted to the State-run Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences.
