Jharkhand BJP demands criminal case against Lalu Yadav for making a call in judicial custody

Ranchi, Nov 25 : The Jharkhand BJP has demanded that a criminal case be lodged against former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD president Lalu Yadav for making a call during judicial custody.
“The court should take cognisance of the Lalu Yadav matter. He (Lalu Yadav) should be shifted from Ranchi. Lalu Yadav made a call to a Bihar legislator and lured him to remain absent during the Bihar assembly speaker election. It is matter of horse-trading,” said former Chief Minister and BJP legislative party leader Babulal Marandi to reporters.
He demanded that an FIR be lodged against him for violating the jail manual.
He also targeted the Jharkhand govt. “The law and order situation is not good in the state. A convicted person is allowed to speak to other people outside jsil on mobile phone while serving a jail term,” said Marandi. Taking a dig at the Hemant Soren government he said, “It will be better if the state govt sends Lalu Yadav to Bihar” Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Sushil Modi released an audio in which Lalu Yadav was luring a BJP legislator Lalan Paswan to be absent from the Speaker election on Wednesday.
The jail administration in Ranchi is tight-lipped over the issue.
