 Why Lalu Prasad Failed in Bihar - And Succeeds as Railway Minister
It is not easy to explain Lalu Prasad's success as India's railway minister and his earlier failure as chief minister of Bihar.
To understand why Lalu Prasad allowed Bihar to drift into decay and destitution, it may be instructive to consider the social factors that played a major role in his rise to power.
For Lalu Prasad the championing of the cause of his caste brethren not only meant endowing them with political power and social respectability, but also demonstrating that the leader himself had remained true to his village-based background.

 BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Profile: Laloo Prasad Yadav
Mr Yadav is a formidable force in India's most lawless state, Bihar, which his Rashtriya Janata Dal governed for 13 years until electoral defeat in 2005.
Mr Yadav's problems began in 1996 when the police unearthed a big corruption scandal in which he and the state's leading bureaucrats and politicians were alleged to be involved.
The case shocked the country, chiefly because Mr Yadav, whose politics is based on mass mobilisation of the lower-caste Hindu votes, had come to be known as a champion of social justice.

 Lalu Prasad Yadav: Charisma Wanes, History Remains - India Daily
Charisma of Lalu: Lalu Prasad Yadav came to power in 1990 as an iconic figure of the masses of the ‘oppressed’ that typically mean the backward castes.
The worst case perhaps that Lalu personally was charged with was that of the rape of an IAS officer’s wife Champa Biswas for years from which Lalu came out clean though the stigma remained with him forever.
As far as Lalu is concerned, it seems to be the end of days for the man who once chose to declare — “Jab tak rahega samosey mein aloo, Bihar me raj karega Lalu” (Just as a samosa can’t be imagined sans potato, similarly power corridors of Bihar can’t be without the phenomenon called Lalu).

 The Acorn » Lalu Prasad Yadav to lecture at IIM
Much criticised on this blog for his neglect of railway safety, Lalu Prasad Yadav has nevertheless presided over one of the few instances in recent memory when India’s gargantuan state-owned railway system has turned a profit.
The feat under his belt and with prime ministerial ambitions not inconcievable, Lalu Prasad is, bizarrely, attempting to improve his image.
Lalu Yadav is hogging the credit for the groundwork done by his predecessor, Nitish Kumar, just as the UPA government is hogging the credit for a 3rd year in row of 8+ growth, which again is on account of the momentum generated by the previous government.

 Lalu still Hero No 1
But the strong notion that Lalu, the hero — the man who ably acted out his anti-middleclass, anti-upper caste and eventually anti-people lumpen, lawless politics as ‘social justice’ — was the clear loser last month appears flawed.
Ever since Lalu came to power in 1990, his pre-eminent position has been entirely dictated by his strong caste base — he couldn’t give a damn about anybody else.
Now he will ensure more trains from Bihar…” A statement completely unmindful of how Lalu is one of the reasons they have to travel elsewhere to make a semblance of a living anyway.

Though, they allege that Lalu is overlooking the sincere party workers, their real agenda is to scrabble for tickets for themselves or their wives, as they unsuccessfully did in the last elections.
Similarly, Sadhu had failed to prevail upon Lalu for getting a ticket for his wife Indira Yadav, and later fielded her as an Independent candidate from Gopalganj.
