Ranchi (Jharkhand): Several supporters of Lalu Prasad Yadav including former Bihar Assembly Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary met the former Bihar Chief Minister and offered him fresh mangoes at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) hospital in Ranchi on Saturday.
The supporters flocked the hospital after reports surfaced suggesting that Yadav was skipping his meals and was suffering from a shock after Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) poll debacle in Bihar.
Lalu's younger son and Bihar Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav had last month alleged that his family was not allowed to meet the ailing RJD chief.
"For the past two months, my family is not being allowed to meet my ailing father. BJP government has resorted to hooliganism. Lalu ji is being treated worse than war prisoners," Tejashwi had tweeted.
The RJD supremo is in jail in multi-crore fodder scam cases that pertain to fraudulent withdrawals from state treasuries by Animal Husbandry Department officials between 1991 and 1996 when he was the chief minister of undivided Bihar.
Lalu Prasad-led RJD for the first time could not bag even a single seat in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
