Lalu Yadav welcomes JD-U legislator Anant Singh's arrest
June 25, 2015  19:31
Welcoming the arrest of JD-U MLA Anant Singh, RJD president Lalu Yadav today admitted that it was his "pressure" which led to the arrest.

"Yes it was my pressure (which led to Singh's arrest). What should I have done? What will you do if somebody pulls your child and takes him away or if somebody attacks a journalist? Such people destroy social harmony," Yadav said while talking to media persons.

It is noteworthy the youth -- Putus Yadav -- whose kidnapping and subsequent murder turned the heat on Singh, hailed from the same caste as that of Prasad, and that too in an area where the rivalry for dominance between Yadavs and Bhumihars (the caste to which the MLA belongs) had gained notoriety over the last few decades.
