He cited the example of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav. “Around 15 years ago, it was difficult to imagine that Lalu Prasad Yadav would be out of power in Bihar. Today I read that Lalu ji will be produced in the court… ‘Pishi Bhaifo’ will also have to appear in the court in the coming years.’
