Ranchi: Former Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Thursday got a three-day parole to attend his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav’s marriage in Patna.
Yadav who is convicted in fodder scam is currently lodged in Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi since December 23, 2017. He had applied for a five-day parole and likely to reach Patna on Thursday evening.
The medical board of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi, where Prasad is admitted on health ground on Wednesday declared his condition as stable for granting parole to him. RIMS superintendent R.K. Shrivastava told media that,“ Mr. Prasad’s health bulletin says everything is normal…he is stable and healthy.”
Tej Pratap is to marry Aishwarya Rai, daughter of RJD leader Chandrika Yadav and grand-daughter of former Bihar Chief Minister Daroga Prasad Rai, on May 12.
RJD MLA and party spokesperson Shakti Yadav expressing his happiness on the release of the party chief said “We’re happy that our leader has got parole to attend the marriage ceremony but I would also like to ask why it has been given only for three days?… it smacks of political vendetta by the BJP government there.”
