New Delhi:With Lalu Prasad in jail after his conviction in the multi-crore fodder scam case, his wife Rabri Devi on Monday said she and her son will run the RJD “as Sonia Gandhi and Rahul are guiding the Congress”.

Asked about impact of the court order on the Rashtriya Janata Dals future, Rabri, who has had three stints as chief minister of Bihar, said she and her son would run the party in the absence of Lalu Prasad “as he had created the party and nourished it”.

Rabri (54) has two sons Tej Pratap and Tejaswi Yadav, who had accompanied Lalu Prasad to Ranchi for the crucial court proceeding on Monday and is being looked upon as the heir apparent.
