Reacting to the verdict, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said, -"Today, the law has taken its own course. All those who commit corruption with impunity need to understand that law will catch up with you. I am sure it will also catch up with those who are with the government of India.-" The ruling Congress party also said that law has taken its own course. -"I have respect for the judgement given by the court as law does not discriminate between person to person. Law has taken its own course. We have respect for the court,-" party leader Rashid Alvi said. In Patna, Bihar BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi hailed the verdict pronouncing Prasad, former Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra and 43 others guilty in the multi-crore fodder scam case 17 years ago. -"Lalu has got what he had sown ..... Boya pedh (tree) babul ka to phool (flower) kahan se hoi (how could he get flower when he had sown a tree of thorn )-" he tweeted after the CBI court judge P K Singh pronounced the order. -"He got what he deserved,-" Modi, who was the original petitioner in the Patna High Court in the fodder scam in 1990s, said. Modi, a former deputy chief minister of Bihar, lavished praised on former CBI officer U.N. Biswas, at present a Minister in the West Bengal government, for making a foolproof case in the fodder scam and gave him the whole credit for conviction of the RJD supremo and others.
