Lalu Prasad Yadav
Hours after former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad sentenced to seven years in prison in the Dumka treasury case, Union Minister Giriraj Singh took a jibe at him and said 'as you sow so shall you reap.'
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo was earlier today sentenced to seven years imprisonment under IPC sections and seven years under sections related to PC Act in the fourth fodder scam case.
Speaking to media, Singh said, 'The law takes its own course. No comment on this. Neither this is any judgment by any party. As you sow so shall you reap.'
