After Lalu's conviction, Tejashwi h said:

" BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) see Laluji as a threat to m. People of Bihar have me ir mind to go against BJP and Nitish Kumar and y are standing with Lalu Pras in support. We are confident that we will get  bail and our morale will never break."

"We will challenge verdict in High Court. process of bail will take place once High Court is opened.
