After conviction in fodder scam, Lalu Yadav compares self to Mandela, Ambedkar

Making comparison between 'ruling class' and 'ruled class', Lalu said the former has always detested any voice of dissent from the latter.

New Delhi: After a special CBI court convicted former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav in a fodder scam case on Saturday, Lalu took to Twitter and evoked names of leaders Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther and Babasaheb Ambedkar.

The RJD leader, tweeting after his conviction in the fodder scam verdict, said that Mandela and his likes wouldn't have been treated in the same manner if they had "failed in their efforts".

On Saturday, a CBI court found Lalu guilty in one of the four fodder scam cases.

In a series of tweets, the former chief minister of Bihar called the verdict a result of biased propaganda against him and said he is confident that the truth will prevail.

The leader made a comparison between the "ruling class and the "ruled class" and said that the former has always detested any voice of dissent from the latter.

He also accused BJP of distorting the public perception against the opposition with an aim to garner votes.
