In 1990, when then BJP president L.K. Advani was carrying out his rath yatra unbridled, it was Lalu Yadav as CM who had dared to stop him from entering Bihar.
The JDU, too, like the BJP, believes in the politics of empowerment and Nitish Kumar as Bihar’s CM has worked on the vision of ‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas’.
Opposition says 25% IAS and IPS officers hailed from Bihar over the last decade but only 12% people between 15 and 59 have a regular income stream in the state.
In a state used to seeing political dynasts and people with criminal backgrounds contest elections, a small group of candidates is trying to offer an alternative. Here’s a look at them.
There is visible anger directed at the CM — with Nitish Kumar’s moniker of ‘Sushasan Babu’ giving way to terms such as ‘Paltu Ram’, ‘Paltu Kumar’, ‘Dal Badlu’.
As per the BMC, there are 1,025 officially approved hoardings in the city right now. However, any Mumbaikar can tell you that number is a ludicrous underestimate.
Latest report by UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs says global growth to be faster than estimated earlier & India’s 'robust performance' to boost South Asia’s growth.
The Spanish foreign minister says 'the Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace'. Spain has been very critical of Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
Lalu was so secular he even didn’t discriminate between humans and cows and ate the food intended for cows. Couldn’t be more secular. Shame on this author for glorifying people like Lalu.
Why would Laloo have cast aside his vote bank of Yadavs and Muslims to go with the BJP? That was enough to keep him in power for 15 years with a little help from Congress.
MY combination of Mr FODDER a thoroughly corrupt politician was that
Y was allowed to loot
M was allowed to riot
THIS allowed Mr FODDER a free run for 15 years and brought BIHAR to it’s knees.
NO wonder POOHI who identifies corruption as SECULAR would want a RETURN to good old days of being political middlemen .
However the 8th standard pass son of Mr FODDER would require journalist to join as a PARTY member to help him win elections and not waste time on journalism .
Loyalty to secularism in India means Loyal to Muslims and being an Anti Hindu , Laloo , Mulla Malayam , Leftists & Congress are so called Loyal secular parties in India.
Truly chuckle-worthy if in a grim way, that we have reached a stage where we write hagiographies of the likes of Lalu Prasad Yadav – a convicted criminal, whose jail terms if added up would exceed several life times – on the specious and foggy grounds of “his loyalty to secularism”! About all one might concede is that Lalu was indeed secular in his looting and oppression of Indian people irrespective of our religious beliefs. And as for mentioning, in the same breath, the Samajwadi Party as ‘secular’, is this journalist even aware that the Samajwadi Party is supporting the Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra? And has she heard of the Srikrishna Commission Report on the hideous communal violence of 1992 in Mumbai (naturally, the Report has sunk without trace), which indicted the Shiv Sena leaders and cardes from Balasahaeb Thackeray downwards for murdering over 1000 Muslims?
O Tempora O Mores!

Too clever by half analysis.

Poohi is a CONGRASS journalist.
