While preparations are underway for a birthday celebration at a party office in New Delhi, the residence of Rabri Devi in Patna wore a deserted look. Lalu is currently undergoing treatment at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) hospital.

According to reports, Lalu Yadav has been skipping his lunch and keeps quiet most of the time after his party suffered a humiliating loss in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The RJD failed to secure any seat in Bihar and Jharkhand.

On Saturday, leaders of Indian National Congress and RJD met him. As per the jail officials, only three people are allowed to meet him every Saturday with “prior approval”. After being convicted in multiple fodder scam cases, Lalu was sent to Birsa Munda Central Jail on December 23, 2017.
