Lalu Prasad will run party from jail: Rabri Devi
New Delhi:

Lalu Prasad has been sentenced to five years in jail in the multi-crore fodder scam, which surfaced 17 years ago, when he was Chief Minister of Bihar. He has also been fined Rs 25 lakh.

  • Lalu Prasad will run the party from jail. Wherever Lalu Prasad is, he will run the party.
    Rabri Devi, Lalu Prasad's wife
  • It's a kind of conviction which is long-awaited. During the 'jungle raj', quite a few things happened in Bihar. Scuttling of justice also happened.
    Nirmala Sitharaman, BJP spokesperson
  • We are not in alliance since 2009. Of course his four MPs support the UPA government, but everyone is equal before the law.
    Shakeel Ahmed, Congress General Secretary
  • BJP thinks that this is a very important milestone in the fight against corruption. The whole country was up and against corruption. They wanted results. And today the legal process has reached a destination. We welcome this decision.
    Prakash Javadekar, BJP spokesperson
  • This judgment is a lesson- those who commit corruption with impunity, the law will catch up with them.
    Ravi Shankar Prasad, BJP leader
  • I am satisfied with the verdict. The court has given punishments according to what it thought best in its wisdom.
    BMP Singh, CBI lawyer
  • Judiciary needs to make an example of Lalu's case to deter others that you cannot enjoy proceeds of crime and trade off with few yrs in jail.
