"Wishing Shri Lalu Prasad ji a very happy birthday! I pray for his good health, success and happiness, always," Gandhi tweeted. Former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad turned 71 on Monday. Out on bail over health issues after being convicted in three fodder scam cases, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief celebrated the day with much fanfare at his sprawling bungalow in Patna.
