Former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav attended the Siwan civil court on Friday in connection with alleged breach of the election code of conduct during the 2011 Daraunda assembly by‑poll.
Lalu Prasad Yadav, former chief minister of Bihar and president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, reported to the Siwan civil court on Friday. He appeared before the bench to answer a petition that accuses him of violating the Model Code of Conduct during the 2011 Daraunda assembly by‑poll.
The case stems from allegations that Yadav’s campaign activities exceeded the permissible limits set for candidates, prompting a complaint that was later registered with the court. The petition seeks a directive that could affect his political standing and any pending disqualification.
A sizable crowd of supporters gathered outside the court premises, chanting slogans and waving party flags. While the court proceedings were brief, the judge noted that the matter would be examined in detail and a further hearing date would be fixed.
No official statement was released by Yadav or his party at the time of his appearance, and the court did not disclose any immediate verdict.
