But it was not the mass of Yadav peasantry, who have to face as severe an agrarian crisis as peasants elsewhere in the country, who really responded to the lure of the lathi.

Yadav, who is expected to keep at least 24 seats out of a total of 40 for his own party, is going to drive a tough bargain with Paswan and Congress who have been demanding 12 and 28 seats in Bihar respectively.

 The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
Since 1999, when Laloo Yadav lost the Madhepura Lok Sabha seat to Sharad Yadav, and Ram Vilas Paswan (now the chief of the Lok Jan Shakti Party) turned his attention to Bihar, the backward votebank of the RJD has been under siege from within.
Under the circumstances, it was necessary for Laloo Yadav to unite the divergent backward ranks with an “acceptable social tool” rather than a political plank.
Laloo Yadav is probably testing political waters with the lathi, in keeping with rural Bihar’s tradition of measuring the water-level of the small streams criss-crossing the Gangetic plain with a lathi.

 The Hindu Business Line : The durability of Laloo Prasad Yadav
In his characteristic style, Mr Laloo Yadav had used humour to drive home the message that his party would be the one to matter in Bihar, not the parent Janata Dal.
Mr Laloo Yadav's whacky sense of humour is also evident from the fact that he named one of his daughters Misa — the acronym for the Maintenance of Internal Security Act that was misused by Indira Gandhi's government during the Emergency — because she was born while he had been imprisoned under that Act.
Mr Laloo Yadav's brothers-in-law, Sadhu Yadav and Subhash Yadav, are a law unto themselves in the State and, as in the case of Sahabuddin, the local administration and the police have never taken any action against their strong-arm tactics.

In Siwan, Laloo Yadav’s subaltern electoral arithmetic turns an awkward alley and gets almost entirely consumed by the larger-than-Siwan persona of Mr Shahabuddin, whose politics are rather contrary to the politics of Mr Laloo Yadav, irrespective of the fact that Mr Shahabuddin is a Muslim.
But what Laloo Yadav has had to sacrifice in Siwan in order to keep Shahabuddin by his side is almost all of a constituency that should be classically his.
Because they think Laloo Yadav and the rjd have handed the Siwan franchise to Shahabuddin, a man who represents landed, upper caste interests, partly because of the fact that his main rivals are the cpi(ml).

 Walter Hauser's Review of Shankarshan Thakur's Book   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Indeed, as Thakur makes clear, it was Laloo Yadav's unqualified support for V. Singh in 1989 that was critical in the political ascent of the Raja of Manda to the prime ministership, and to Laloo's rise to the gaddi in Bihar and ultimately the presidency of the Janata Dal.
Though Laloo was hardly the first to give voice to the oppressed, Thakur gives him full and legitimate credit for representing the poor and the powerless in a populist message of self-respect and political assertion.
The cynical twist in the story is that maintaining Laloo Yadav in power became the only goal, inevitably to the detriment not only of his backward classes and Muslim vote bank, but for the 100 million citizen of India who are Biharis.

Left's spokespersons as well as mediapersons, in their bid to wash off their hands for glamourising Laloo and to conceal the fact that they were taken for a ride, are trying to show that Laloo's degeneration came up subsequently after he developed a lot of clout and became arrogant.
However, Laloo Yadav failed to retain his hold over the backward castes and the split in the shape of Samata provided an opportunity for BJP to project an alternative plank of forward-backward balance of power.
