Law catching up with Lalu: BJP

The BJP on Friday targeted RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav following a Delhi court’s order to frame charges against him and his family members in the land-for-job case, saying the law is “catching up” with the former railway minister for his involvement in various “scams”.

Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said courts have sentenced Lalu to a total of 32.5 years of imprisonment in various cases linked to the multi-crore fodder scam. “Bitumen scam, land-for-job-scam, how many more scams will you commit? Lalu Babu, you should have put a full stop somewhere,” the former Union minister said.  Prasad, the Lok Sabha MP from Patna Sahib, added, “There is a proverb that the law will catch up with you. That is exactly what is happening now.” Earlier in the day, a Delhi court ordered the framing of charges against the RJD chief, his family members and others in the alleged land-for-job scam.
