Lalu Prasad: the rise and fall of a maverick politician

New Delhi/Patna: Lalu Prasad has always made for excellent photo-ops. As Bihar chief minister, he milked buffaloes at his official residence, dressed only in his undergarments. He was photographed eating rotis being cooked by his wife Rabri Devi in the kitchen; she too has been the state's chief minister. He rode a cycle rickshaw to surrender 16 years ago and an elephant when he was given bail.
