Besides RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav,there are many prominent names among the 44 others convicted in the fodder scam.
One of them is former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra,who was with the Congress before he switched to the JD(U). Mishras son,Nitish Mishra,is a minister in the Nitish Kumar government.
Another convict,Jagdish Sharma,is the JD(U) MP from Jehanabad. His son,Rahul Sharma,is the MLA from Ghoshi. According to the CBI investigation,Jagdish Sharma,who was then chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC),helped Lalu by stalling the fodder scam probe.
