Lalu Prasad, a former Union Rail Minister, is serving a jail term after he was convicted in the fodder scam case.
After being found guilty in two cases, Lalu's jail term has increased to eight and a half years (five and three and a half).
The Prime Minister also added, "These days you keep hearing about Aadhaar. I want to say Aadhaar has added great strength to India's development. What would earlier get into wrong hands is now going to the intended beneficiaries."
