Prasad, a former chief minister of Bihar, had also served as the railway minister in the UPA-1 government.
Serving sentences in many fodder scam cases, he has been granted bail and allowed to travel abroad on medical grounds.
Meanwhile, Yadav, who is Prasad's younger son, also shared photographs of elder sister Rohini Acharya who is winning accolades for donating a kidney to their septuagenarian father.
"After the surgery, my dear sister's self-confidence has been out of this world, like never before and fantastic," tweeted Yadav who can be seen, in the pictures, alongside his sister's hospital bed.
"The example set by my dear sister Rohini Acharya, in an age defined by crumbling relationships, is of family values, unshakable love, limitless sacrifice and indomitable courage, and is beyond description and unforgettable," the doting little brother added.
