Sushil livid over Lalu's 'political meetings'; seeks bail cancellation

Patna: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Wednesday took strong exception to RJD chief Lalu Prasad's political meetings with leaders of the Congress and TDP, and urged the CBI to seek cancellation of his provisional bail granted by the Jharkhand HC for medical treatment.

The senior BJP leader's outbursts came a day after a group of TDP lawmakers had met Prasad at his residence and sought RJD support to their proposed no-confidence motion against the NDA government at the Centre.

"Lalu Prasad was granted bail on condition of staying away from any type of political activity. However, he has been violating the bail conditions. First, he interacted with Congress leader Ashok Gehlot and then he held discussions with TDP MPs", the Bihar Deputy CM said in a statement.

Gehlot, who was in the Bihar capital last week, had met the RJD supremo on July 12. The same day BJP chief Amit Shah was in Patna to have breakfast and dinner meetings with CM Nitish Kumar.
