Patna : Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejaswi Yadav on July 19, 2018, described senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi’s demand for cancellation of provisional bail of his father and RJD chief Lalu Prasad as negative politics.

Strongly objecting to Lalu’s meeting with leaders of the Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) recently, Modi had on July 18 asked the CBI to seek the cancellation of his bail granted by the Jharkhand High Court for medical treatment. Lalu held the meetings at the official residence of his wife and former chief minister Rabri Devi, 10 , Circular Road, here.
“What BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi is saying is an example of negative politics. The bail was granted to Lalu Prasad on health grounds. He is free to visit my father and see for himself how ill he is and how badly he needs medical treatment which he can’t get in jail,” Tejaswi told reporters here. Lalu, a former Bihar Chief Minister, has been convicted in four fodder scam cases.The Jharkhand High Court had on June 29 extended his provisional bail for another six weeks till August 17 on medical grounds.

JD(U) spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar demanded a thorough examination of Lalu’s call details, which, he claimed, will prove that he has been involved in political activities ever since he was released on provisional bail in May this year.
