Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Yadav who will be sentenced by a special CBI court in multi-million-rupee fodder scam case today is keeping his fingers crossed as the verdict will be out on a date which has always brought misfortune for the former Bihar chief minister.

If we connect all dots, one can say that January 3 might not prove lucky for Lalu, who was convicted along with 14 others on December 23 for fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 84.5 lakh from the Deoghar district treasury between 1990 and 1994.

Be it January 3, December 23, June 23, September 23 or his prisoner no 3351, all dates related to Lalu Yadav have number 3 in common. Seeing the track record, no. 3 can be considered as a bad omen as it has always brought misfortune for him. So will he be unlucky this time too? To get that answer we need to wait for the quantum of punishment which will decide the political fortune of the Bihar leader today.
