Commenting on the RJD leader Lalu Prasad’s conviction in the fodder scam, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said one should not be greedy even for a single day. “I heard Laluji has been sent to jail, he has been convicted by a CBI court. I tell everybody, don’t be greedy even for a day, because that may ruin your tomorrow.”

Addressing an extended general council meeting of the Trinamool Congress, she said: "If we are satisfied with a diet of rice and fish, or rice and lentils, and by wearing ordinary clothes, we will live happily and peacefully. Life is transient. You will not be there tomorrow. For whom will you leave [your wealth]?” she asked.
