After tsuNAMO, Lalu literally facing the heat in Ranchi hospital
Frequent power cuts has made Lalu's life hell in a Ranchi hospital.
Fodder scam accused Lalu Prasad Yadav is in a bad place. While his party RJD was at the end of a seminal rout at the hands of the NDA, his troubles in a Ranchi hospital is being exacerbated by frequent power cuts.
Prasad, who has been in mourning since the defeat, is having trouble because power cuts would lead to the air conditioner shutting down, which is making life difficult for him.
Bihar residents - particularly those who grew up in the dark days (literally) of the 90s - will wonder if the recent turn of events indicate karma's sense of irony.
Meanwhile, stunned by the rout of his Rashtriya Janata Dal in Bihar and Jharkhand in the Lok Sabha election, Lalu Prasad gave up lunch for two days after the declaration of poll results on May 23.
Prasad had the meal on Sunday, May 26, after doctors, worried for his health, pleaded him that proper food intake was required for his medication to continue, Dr Umesh Prasad, head of the team looking after him, told PTI on Monday.
The RJD president is under treatment for blood pressure, sugar and kidney ailment at the Ranchi-based Rajendra Prasad Institute of Medical Sciences since December 2017 after he was sent to jail by a court, RIMS sources said.
The doctor said Prasad's health parameters are normal.
The jovial RJD supremo, known for his earthy humours, apparently could not digest that his party drew a blank in its stronghold Bihar and also in the neighbouring Jharkhand.
