Fodder scam verdict will have impact on Lalu's political career: JD-U

December 23, 2017 21:04

The Janata Dal United today said that the verdict in the fodder scam would affect the political career of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his party.

Speaking to ANI, JD-U leader KC Tyagi said, "The verdict will have a long-term impact on the politics of Lalu Yadav and the RJD. There is no place for corruption in our society and politics."

Another JD-U leader Niraj Kumar hailed the verdict as a milestone judgment and dubbed Lalu Prasad as an "icon of corruption".

"Lalu is an icon of corruption. He has converted his politics into a property collection center. This is an indication that he has used his money and political power for the same," Kumar said.

A special Central Bureau of Investigation court earlier in the day convicted the former Bihar chief minister in the fodder scam case. -- ANI
