His former aide and now a close family friend says, "What is all this Fodder Scam?? There was never a scam. It is just like 2G Scam, our opponents have made it up to suit their political needs. Where is the fodder gone? Are you going to ask the cow why did she eat it?"

Out of 38 accused, two have pleaded guilty, three have turned approvers and 11 have died during the trials. The scam took place between 1991-1994. Lalu Prasad Yadav is confident of getting bail. 

Lalu Prasad Yadav's former CA has said that this is a kind judgement. "This is a really very kind judgement by CBI Court. This is the Government of Gau-Rakshaks. We can see of some News Channels that Cows are being protected. What will these cows eat? They need fodder for their sustenance. Shri Laluji has many tons of fodder. He can easily make Rs. 10 Lakhs by selling this fodder."

The scam is of worth Rs. 950 Crores.
