Ranchi, Feb 26: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav has started taking non-vegetarian food while being admitted in the paying ward of the RIMS.
After getting convicted in the fifth fodder scam, Lalu expressed his wish to have fish in his meal.
Lalu had left having non-vegetarian food in 2009 after having a due discussion over the food with Lord Shiva in his dreams, but after 2013 he again started consuming non-veg by apologizing to Lord Shiva and other gods and goddesses.
Lalu’s dietician at RIMS, Kumari Minakshi said that Lalu is presently having a low protein and salt diet as he is diabetic and at the same time his kidney is in the fourth stage.
“He can have non-veg once a week but not more than two pieces. He loves to have fish but at present, he is following the diet plan and keeping himself away from the non-vegetarian food,” Minakshi said.
Dr. Vidyapathi said that Lalu’s health is stable at present and he has also got relief in his toothache after the root canal.
“His 20 to 25% kidney is only functional and blood thinner medicine is being given as his valve was changed with the biological one. He is taking food under the guidance of the dietician and can consume non-veg if he wants, once a week,” Dr. Vidyapathi said.
With his entire family caught in legal troubles, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad has given up his craving for non-vegetarian dishes time and again, which he loved to cook himself.
Reports said that although Lalu favoured all kinds of non-veg dishes, he especially loved tucking into fish caught from the local rivers.
Previously too, he had quit non-veg foods while he was lodged in jail in connection with the fodder scam case following what he claims was a “divine order”. It was during his stay in jail that the Hindu deity Shiva visited him in his dream and ordered him to quit such foods to overcome his legal worries, he had claimed at the time. He followed the “divine instructions” but, upon coming out of jail on bail, his non-veg cravings got the better of him and so have his legal problems.
