RJD on Thursday alleged a political conspiracy by BJP and JD-U behind the sentencing of Lalu Prasad but ruled out the possibility of a change in party leadership, saying its chief will be out on bail soon.

‘Lalu ji has become a victim of a political conspiracy and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar (of JDU) and BJP has an important role in this conspiracy. We will go to people and apprise them of the conspiracy and hobnobbing between BJP and JD(U) against Lalu ji,’ party MP Ramkripal Yadav told reporters after a special court in Ranchi sentenced Prasad to five years imprisonment in a 17-year-old fodder scam case.

‘Lalu is innocent. He has been punished because he was voicing the concerns of the poor and strengthening secularism.

Those who made money are moving outside freely and the person, who lodged the case, got 45 FIRs registered, has been jailed,’ Yadav, a close aide of Prasad, said.

Senior party leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh trashed talks about the possibility of a change in RJD’s leadership saying it was not required as Prasad will be out on bail.
