Was framed because am a powerful leader, says Lalu: Highlights

New Delhi: On poll mode, Lalu Prasad, recently released on bail in the fodder scam case, addresses the media while exiting the jail:

Below are the highlights:

Special thanks to Bihar people for their immense support.

After coming out of jail, I would like to express my gratitude to the public, workers and leaders of my party.

There was no basis in my case lodge by CBI.

I was framed because I was very powerful leader.

The love and respect which I received will not go down waste.

Narendra Modi... everyone knows... the European Union also issued advisory not to visit Gujarat. I respect Vajpayeeji. Even he was pained by riots and communal violence in Gujarat.

It's good that I have become free. I have full faith in the judiciary. The Supreme Court has many learned people and I am sure they will give me justice. I will only enter Central Hall when I am acquitted. My Parliament will now be the fields and villages of this country.

Nitish is a no factor. People from all castes have realised that Nitish is a 'hawabaaz' chief minister. The BJP and JD(U) are already dead fighting each other.
