New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied bail to Lalu Prasad Yadav, a day after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) strongly opposed his plea saying he was likely to indulge in political activities ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
While speaking to ETV Bharat, JDU Chief General Secretary KC Tyagi said, "Yadav has been in a hospital ward for over eight months – and indulging in political activities."
"During the period in which the Lalu Yadav remained in hospital, he is not only granted a special paying ward with all facilities but he is virtually conducting his political activities from there which would be clear form the list of visitors." he added.
As per EC's announcement, the General elections in Bihar will be held in all the seven phases starting April 11, 2019. Voting in Bihar will be held for 40 Lok Sabha seats.
