Kolkata: Reacting to the conviction of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee questioned the greed for wealth.
"I heard Lalu Prasad Yadav has been sent to jail after being convicted by a CBI court. What is the use of being greedy for one or two days because it may ruin your tomorrow," she told a Trinamool Congress general council meeting here.
Lalu along with 44 others was convicted by a special Central Bureau of India (CBI) court in Ranchi in one of the cases of the multi-crore fodder scam on Monday.
Banerjee at the meeting said that she was satisfied with a plate of fish and wearing simple clothes. "We are here today and gone tomorrow. For whom will you leave your wealth? There is no end to this."
The Chief Minister also recalled that her parents could not afford to buy books when she was in school but nevertheless paid attention to education.
"Now, our brothers and sisters are better off. Our parents have given them a good schooling. They are doing well," she said.
