Lalu Yadav sentenced for 5 years, barred from contesting polls for 11 years

Too early to celebrate as there is more to be done as Over 30% of MPs, MLAs face criminal charges - The Hindu

Well atleast a begining is made. I know at the moment when a large percentage of political class is facing criminal charges of various sorts, a single sentencing may not seem much, but in larger context of things atleast it should drive a meassage to our political class that netas are not infalliable and in longer run Law will take its own course.
In past couple of years we've seen ministers and MPs getting sentenced and considering the trough our political system has seen, things can only improve from here. It could be in a distant future but a clean Indian political system in not an unachievable goal.

For a 900 crore scam, 25 lakh fine and 5 years prison is pittance.

Especially not a punishment for someone who has gone to jail regularly.

It is for Lalu. His history is tarnished, from now on he is a convicted criminal. This judgement effectively finished RJD.
