He is facing a fifth fodder scam case in a special CBI court in Ranchi pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal of money from Doranda treasury. Tejashwi spearheading opposition in Bihar polls in Lalu's absence:  While Lalu serves his jail term, his son Tejashwi is busy spearheading the party as electioneering for Bihar assembly elections catches pace.  Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is targeting the Nitish government on the issues of corruption and law and order. The point to be noted is that in this election RJD President Lalu Prasad is missing and the entire responsibility lies on Tejashwi Yadav's shoulders. He has been declared the Chief Ministerial face of the opposition alliance. Riding on the success of the RJD as the largest party in the last assembly elections, party leaders are once again hopeful of emulating it
