Is Nitish better than Lalu !

Okay for most of you this might seem absurd Nitish vs Lalu, oh my god you'r comparing the sun with darkness. Let me also clarify that I detest Lalu Yadav as much as you. Than why am I asking such a question ? Yesterday I met this gentleman from a well reputed company who had given up his job for studying Bihar and he had this question. I sounded aghast on hearing it but soon his arguments got the better of me.
                        See both of these leaders are products of  JP school of politics, so one thing that's crystal clear is both have the same mindset that of JP. You might think JP was iconic and instrumental in overthrowing Indira, perhaps he was. But the benefit of his movement is overshadowed by the ill after effects. The decay in India's education system is his biggest gift. Most of the Indian Colleges are full of hooligans today, the entry of such people in politics is also a gift of JP and that is turning out to be a big threat. What I am trying to point out is that both Lalu and Nitish have the same political education. In fact Nitish served Lalu for over 10 yrs in governance. Now that's a long time, so if he says that he left Lalu because of Bihar it sounds wrong. Both of them rose to prominence practising caste & only caste one talking of yadavs and other kurmis. Both of them have made controversial caste remarks, while you remember what Lalu said you have forgotten the same words of Nitish.  And now if one of them says that he doesn't believe in caste what does it mean ? You just need to look into his cabinet a wonderful conglomerate of all castes which voted for him. They are ministers not because they deserve infact of 28 ministers in cabinet 16 have criminal cases against them, 6 have even been accused of rape, so they are there because of their caste equations.

I am not telling you that Bihar hasn't developed it has definitely and and a considerable rate. But all these statements that politics in Bihar has changed or that Bihar has changed are misleading. Creations of the media. Talk of the elections last year the theme was that since Nitish has developed Bihar so all the forward and kurmis and dalits will vote for him. Did the yadavs vote for him where the nominee was not of their community. Talking of my college itself all my yadav batchmates voted for lalu (they said:परंपरा है निभाना है ). And when you see the vote percentage 34 % for NDA and 26 % for Lalu and co it should strike you that something doesn't add on of the victory margin 204-33 ? Infact what many people rightly beleive is that Nitish has increased casteism for his own benefits creating mahadalits out of dalits, dalit muslims......etc. He has used it to his own benefit. And still you will say that at least Bihar is developing under him, my freind Germany too developed under Hitler but what happened to the civilisation. Someting similar is going on in Bihar and rather India. We are becoming incresingly fragmented, restless and indivuliastic. Concrete jungles and sky scrappers do not bring development, it is the people who do. That's why Japan is a happier nation than USA. Strangely no one amongst us or the media see this fact, they esaily disregard it. This hullabaloo is something similar to India shining campaign.
                                                       In short I am not telling you to vote for Lalu, I wouldn't do it for myself. All I am asking you is too look with an unbiased eye. Most of you detest Lalu when you hear him because of the way he speaks: illetrate (he is a LLB) , how many of you have actually listened to what he says? That should not be the case, you should know how he destroyed Bihar and created a Jungle Raj here, then you should hate him. Similarly just because Nitish speaks in the manner we do, we should not overlook his wrong doings. In the end "IF BIHAR HAS TO CHANGE BIHARIS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE AT THE FOREMOST"
