Lalu Prasad Yadav (born 11 June 1948) is a twice-convicted Indian politician from the state of Bihar who is the President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, former Chief Minister of Bihar, former UPA Minister of Railways, and а former and now-disqualified Member of Parliament of 15th Lok Sabha due to the court conviction for his role in multiple fodder scams. He entered politics at Patna University as a student leader and was elected as then youngest member of the Lok Sabha in 1977 as a Janata Party candidate at the age of 29. He became Chief Minister of Bihar in 1990 but had to resign in 1997 following escalating corruption charges relating to the Fodder Scam. From 1997 to 2005 his wife Rabri Devi ruled as the Chief Minister, who was accused by critics of being Lalu's "surrogate." Lalu's tenure as Chief Minister of the state has been criticized for lawlessness and has been termed as the Jungle Raj. After a long gap his party came to power in Bihar Legislative Assembly election, 2015 in partnership with Nitish Kumar of JD(U), but Nitish Kumar dumped Lalu's party from the power in July 2017 after the Enforcement Directorate and CBI lodged several criminal cases against Lalu, his wife Rabri, his son and former deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi Yadav, in another disproportionate assets and railway tender bribery scam during Lalu's stint as the Railway Minister. #Lalu Prasad #Lalu Prasad Yadav #holi song
