Beware of Sting Operations! Lalu Warns RJD, Vows Zero Corruption

It’s Lalu 2.0 in Bihar. But can the charismatic party chief get his leaders to toe the party line?

Lalu Prasad Yadav is back to power in Bihar, but as a changed man.

Senior sources in his party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) tell The Quint that after the stellar mandate, Lalu summoned all 80 elected MLAs for a meeting on 13 November. During the meeting, he reportedly did some straight talking, warning his MLAs that they will need to be clean in order to survive in the coalition.

Lalu Prasad Yadav, sources say, has insisted on zero corruption. RJD MLAs have even been warned of internal sting operations in the new coalition.
