Tejashwi Yadav shared the video with the caption, “Didn’t learn to fear, didn’t learn to bow down. Has fought, will fight, will not be afraid of jail and will win in the end.” In the caption the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister referred his father’s long legal battle in corruption cases, and allegations of the BJP using central probe agencies to silence him.

Notably, Lalu Prasad Yadav spent nearly seven months away from Bihar, during which he underwent a kidney transplant in Singapore and recuperated at his eldest daughter Misa Bharti’s residence in Delhi.

After undergoing a kidney transplant surgery in Singapore in December of the previous year, Yadav senior returned to India in February this year. The RJD President had been unwell and receiving treatment in Singapore due to acute kidney complications. Fortunately, his daughter, Rohini, stepped forward as a donor for the much-needed transplant, which took place on December 5.

At 75 years old, Lalu Yadav had been grappling with health challenges, leading to the necessity of a kidney transplant. Currently, he is serving jail sentences in various fodder scam cases but is out on bail on medical grounds.
