Former Indian railways minister Laloo Prasad Yadav has been sentenced to five years in prison in a notorious case known as the "fodder scam".
He was jailed on Monday after being found guilty of embezzling state funds intended to buy food for cattle while he was Bihar state chief minister.
He has always denied the allegations. His family has said he will appeal.
The sentencing is seen as a landmark step in tackling corruption in India where it is a major national issue.
Yadav now becomes one of the first politicians to lose his parliamentary seat after a recent Supreme Court ruling which bans convicted legislators from holding office.
On Wednesday, the government withdrew a controversial order which would have overturned the Supreme Court ruling and allowed convicted MPs to run for elections while appeals were pending.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Laloo did not embezzle any money . He used the funds that were allocated for cattle feed to buy food for starving people .
This man is a dedicated hindu and he figured that if he fattens the cattle they would end up on the plate of the muslims which is against his hindu beliefs
