Sonia calls Lalu to greet him on release from jail, speculation mounts on Lalu-Congress-Paswan alliance in Bihar (such an alliance will decimate a divided Nitish and BJP)

PATNA: RJD president Lalu Prasad's claim that Congress chief Sonia Gandhi called him up to extend her greetings on his release from Ranchi jail has led to speculation about possible pre-poll tie-up among RJD, Congress and LJP in Bihar.

Soon after reaching home from Ranchi around midnight on Tuesday, Prasad said, "Congress president Sonia Gandhi telephoned me after my release and expressed her happiness over my release."

Apparently enthused by Sonia's call, Prasad said he would work hard to forge an alliance with all secular parties to ensure defeat of communal forces in the next Lok Sabha polls. "Now that I am out on bail, talks on alliance with secular parties will be initiated," he said.

If Lalu is a criminal then so are JJ, MuKa, Azhagiri, et al.

Sure they are all tainted. Azhagiri even has a murder rap. Sonia is no saint either. Yet Lalu was convicted. According to SC he shouldn't be allowed to run.

If tomorrow JJ gets convicted in one of the ongoing corruption cases against her will she become a political untouchable? I think not.

Further, Lalu's conviction is by a lower court. It is possible the conviction could be set aside by a higher court.

Congress passed a law to allow all these criminal elements to contest elections. Congress logic is it will take 20 years to complete the legal process including appeals. So paving laloo and soren types to contest, no corruption charges or convictions will ever come in the power grab.Congress by passing this law has pushed Indian politics one more level into gutter.

It's a pity you are making excuses for him. SC doesn't distinguish between lower and higher courts but has ruled that those who are convicted are ineligible to run for political office. I hope Lokpal gets enough clout such that all corrupt politicians are convicted of their crimes and made ineligible to partake in elections including those in TN.

the alliance is not with Lalu but with his party. His party will get the votes irrespective of whether Lalu personally runs for election or not. As i pointed out in an earlier post, Lalu's party has a solid vote percentage in Bihar. and with nitish and bjp divided, the lalu-congress (and maybe paswan) alliance looks all set to decimate nitish and bjp.

Not according to the title of your post. Now you are equivocating.

if you want an alliance with Lalu's party it is with the consent of Lalu. If some political party wants an alliance with AIADMK it will have to be with the consent of JJ. If some party wants an alliance with YSR Congress it is with the consent of Jagan.

That's why I said Sonia was shameless in pandering to this scumbag sentenced to five years in the fodder scam, now out on bail.

anyone who comments on political issues has a certain leaning and i have been very clear and open about the fact that as of today i lean towards the Congress in the contemporary Indian political scenario and i have given my reasons for this.

Rashmun - Sonia is foolish to go for alliance with crooks. If the results in 4 states are not sinking into her thick skull, no one will help her or her moronic son in 2014. Whatever CONs gained by passing the Lokpal bill will evaporate if she goes for unholy alliances. Chauchesku and Marie Antoinette should watch out!

No i think the alliance with Lalu is very much on the cards. If they manage the alliance and the campaign well, they could ensure that the BJP ends up with a grand total of less than 5 seats out of the total 40 seats in Bihar. Breaking up with Nitish in Bihar will prove to be a huge setback for the BJP.

What about jagan, karnunanidhi, jayalalitha, Chandrababu Naidu, Yeddyurappa, etc etc. You don't become a political untouchable in the indian scenario just because you have allegedly indulged in some corruption.

You are diverting the topic.

What is CBN convicted for?

conviction for corruption is just a technicality. voters are not fools. on another note there are ministers in the narendra modi cabinet who have corruption cases ongoing against them and in the case of one such minister the guy has actually been convicted but continues to remain minister.
