If you or I were to be convicted of a crime and sentenced to jail, we may want to spend the last few minutes of ‘freedom' with family and friends, maybe wish them goodbye. But not Lalu Prasad Yadav.
When the RJD supremo and former Bihar CM was declared guilty in another fodder scam case by a special CBI court in Ranchi, here's what he did – he went crazy tweeting! 11 tweets in 22 minutes is no mean feat, is it?
In one 280-character salvo after another, Lalu Prasad Yadav went from talking about the deceptive appearance of ‘truth' to comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King!
Don't believe me? Here's the proof.
Lalu's Tweetstorm
He began at 4:21 pm with a line about how “truth can be made to appear as a lie” but in the end, truth will win.
Truth can be made to appear as a lie, as ambiguous or a half lie by concerted onslaught of bias driven propaganda. But blurred layer of bias and hatred will still be removed, come what may! In end Truth will win
December 23, 2017One minute later, he switched to Hindi and alleged that this was a conspiracy by the BJP to ruin his public image.
धूर्त भाजपा अपनी जुमलेबाज़ी व कारगुज़ारियों को छुपाने और वोट प्राप्त करने के लिए विपक्षियों का पब्लिक पर्सेप्शन बिगाड़ने के लिए राजनीति में अनैतिक और द्वेष की भावना से ग्रस्त गंदा खेल खेलती है।
December 23, 2017Two minutes after that, Lalu tweeted a philosophical line about how “a lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes”.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. ....But still prevails...In the end though.
December 23, 2017Putting on its shoes, really?Powerful people and powerful classes always managed to divide society into ruling and the ruled classes. And whenever anyone from the lower hierarchy challenged this unjust order, they would be deliberately punished https://t.co/oDSIg7e0ie
December 23, 2017And then there was the biggest punch of them all. Lalu's fifth tweet in six minutes had a not-so-subtle attempt at comparing himself to Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and BR Ambedkar.
Had people like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Baba Saheb Ambedkar failed in their efforts, history would have treated them as villains. They still are villains for the biased, racist and caste-ist minds. No one should expect any different treatment.
December 23, 2017Lalu then proceeded to warn his opponents that he was not alone. “The people of Bihar are standing with me.”
झूठे जुमले बुनने वालों सच अपनी ज़िद पर खड़ा है।धर्मयुद्ध में लालू अकेला नहीं पूरा बिहार साथ खड़ा है।
December 23, 2017You can trouble me, but you cannot defeat me.Lalu Prasad Yadav on TwitterBut wait, that quote sounds better in Hindi. Here's the tweet.
ऐ सुनो कान खोल कर, आप इस गुदडी के लाल को परेशान कर सकते हों, पराजित नहीं।
December 23, 2017सामंतीवादी ताक़तों, जानता हूँ लालू तुम्हारी राहों का काँटा नहीं आँखों की कील है। पर इतनी आसानी से नहीं उखाड़ पाओगे
December 23, 2017Na zor chalega lathi ka, Lalu lal hai maati ka! (Sticks cannot hurt this son of the soil.)Lalu Prasad YadavAgain, you know the translation doesn't match up to the original!
ना ज़ोर चलेगा लाठी का
December 23, 2017
लालू लाल है माटी का।।“Saath har Bihari hai,
Akela sab par bhaari hai,
Sach ki raksha karne ko,
Lalu ka sangharsh jaari hai!”- Lalu Prasad Yadav
साथ हर बिहारी है
December 23, 2017
अकेला सब पर भारी है
सच की रक्षा करने को
लालू का संघर्ष जारी है।
मरते दम तक सामाजिक न्याय की लड़ाई लड़ता रहूँगा। जगदेव बाबू ने गोली खाई, हम जेल जाते रहते है लेकिन मैं झुकूँगा नहीं। लड़ते-लड़ते मर जाऊँगा लेकिन मनुवादियों को हराऊँगा।देश के न्यायप्रिय और शांतिप्रिय साथियों हर षड्यंत्र से बचना होगा। हर हाल में लड़ना होगा। विजयपथ पर चलना होगा। जय हिंद
December 23, 2017Not a Happy New Year!
If Lalu had any plans with friends for New Year's Eve, he'll have to bail on them. The politician will usher in the new year in Ranchi's Birsa Munda Central Jail. The quantum of punishment for this case will be announced on 3 January, special CBI judge Shivapal Singh announced today.
Former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra as well as six others were acquitted in the case. The case relates to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 84.5 lakh from Deoghar district treasury. Hearing was completed on 13 December in a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court of Ranchi.
In all, there were 34 accused in the case, out whom 11 died during the course of the trial, while one turned CBI approver and admitted the crime.
