Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav celebrates his birthday with father, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, mother Rabri Devi and other family members, in Patna. Lalu Prasad, in fact, stands convicted in the fodder scam and faces a jail term of five years. IRCTC ScamWhile the fodder scam was related only to Lalu Prasad, the IRCTC land-for-jobs cases impacted his entire family.
