JD (U)’s MLC Mohammed Javed Iqbal visited the State Capital from Bihar on Saturday to meet RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Saturday. Former MLA Ajit Kumar Jha also met the RJD chief.
Lalu Prasad is convicted in the Fodder Scam cases. He is incarcerated under Birsa Munda Jail of the State Capital and is currently getting treatment for illnesses at RIMS in Ranchi. Saturday is the day which is scheduled to meet Lalu Prasad. On this day a maximum of three people can meet him. However, he can be met on other days also under certain circumstances.
While coming outside the hospital talking to media Iqbal expressed concern over Lalu Prasad’s poor health and he said that he visited the hospital to know about health of RJD Supremo. Avoiding a direct answer to the question of leaving JD (U) and joining RJD Iqbal informed in a gesture that Bihar needs a young leadership. If I will make decision in this direction then must inform, said the MLC. About Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, he said, “You all know, I do not need to tell anything about him.”
“Lalu ji has become very weak and need better treatment. There is a need for youth leadership in Bihar assembly elections. The people of Bihar want change. Nitish Kumar was a good leader and media persons know everything. Lalu Prasad had made him an MLA by giving him the party ticket three times,” said Iqbal.
Former MLA Ajit Kumar Jha, who came out after meeting Lalu Prasad, expressed concern about Lalu’s health. After the meeting, it was found that his health continued to fluctuate a lot, he added.
Jha said that there was no discussion with Lalu Prasad about the Bihar election and politics. On the election in Delhi, he said that Kejriwal's Government is going to be elected once again with thumping margin and BJP will be defeated in Delhi elections also.
On the question of contesting RJD candidates in Delhi elections, he said that RJD has fielded four of its candidates there in consultation with Arvind Kejriwal to defeat the BJP.
