Lalu loses but "Laluism" wins : Bihar election proves caste war as only right royal route

Lalu Prasad Yadav might have been routed in the latest Bihar Assembly election but the reports coming from Patna and Delhi tell us that it is a victory for "Laluism" if we can coin a word, meaning the powerful social forces released by the oppressed Dalits, BCs and Muslims — the constituency of Lalu.

Nitish Kumar, the leader of a mere 5% Kurmi caste of landed BCs, has won and become the Chief Minister but the same reports tell us that he will not be able to continue for long for two reasons:

(1) The heavy presence of Hindu terrorist party (BJP), enemy of Bahujans, within his govt. and
(2) the near impossibility of meeting the aspirations of the oppressed Bahujans.

"Jungle Raj": Governing the chaotic and the country's most turbulent state of Bihar is no joke. Lalu did it for 15 long years and cut the formidable upper caste Brahmin, Bumihar, Rajput and Kayasth forces to size. The country's micro-minority Brahminical forces and their poisonous toilet papers may mock at him for creating a "jungle raj" out of Bihar. Yes, Bihar was already a "jungle raj" even before Lalu took over. The minority upper castes for over 40 years looted Bihar and broke the backbone of the overwhelming majority of Dalits, Backwards and Muslims.

Riot-free state: Did not Lalu stop all this? Bihar witnessed not a single bloody anti-Muslim riots and anti-Dalit caste wars. It was Lalu who brought social justice to the Bihar's oppressed. This is no small achievement. Why nobody is saying this?

The upper caste writers have their monopoly toilet papers to write all sorts of nonsense against Lalu. But fortunately this muck is not read by the Bihar's oppressed. This country is saved by this very 75% of Indian population, who fortunately can't read or write and kept illiterate by the Brahminical rulers. Let these hate-mongers get the pleasure of eating their own shit but it will not have any value on the vast countryside and even the urban poor — because they just don't read these toilet papers. It is these illiterate, honest, good Indians who saved India.

So, all these loud propaganda against Lalu, who represents this over 75% of the country's havenots, is the creation of our enemies. And we can tell you that his eclipse in Bihar will have no effect on the powerful social forces released by Lalu. Nobody can reverse this movement.

Nitish handcuffed: We know the serious caste and communal contradictions in the country and Bihar in particular. Sushil Kumar Modi, a top Hindu terrorist leader, will be a bone in the throat of Nitish. His appointment as Dy. CM is a clear proof that Nitish Kumar is handcuffed.

Nitish Kumar may be "honest" like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. But is he "honest" in his thoughts? With Hindu terrorists, representing the upper caste vultures of the state, in his govt. how can he take any step forward?

Nitish has taken into his cabinet many upper castes. By this he wants to send the message that he is not against the upper castes and that he would like to carry all sections with him. Taking all people in one cart is impossible.

You can't please "everybody" in India. Anybody giving such a promise is cheating the people. In a country where over 85% are havenots, the upper caste haves (15%) will be angry if you go to please the havenots.

George Fernandes watching: Then we have George Fernandes, the Roman Catholic "socialist", who as the agent of Hindu terrorists is watching Nitish. It was he who brought about a split between Lalu and Nitish.

The anti-Lalu Brahminical forces are cursing Lalu for "casteifictaion" of Bihar. But what did they do in the just concluded election? They followed the same caste rule. If Lalu's vote bank was Yadavas and Muslims (30%), Nitish camp wooed the Most Backward Castes (35%) and the Backward Muslims. They also followed the same Lalu formula of "casteification". They did not take any new road. Because there is no other road. India's road to social justice is only through caste.

Lalu's rout is not a victory for the Hindu terrorist party's fascist agenda. No. Nitish distanced himself from the Hindu terrorists throughout the election. In fact, he supported the Muslim demand for reservations.

Dalit leader Ram Vilas Paswan helped the Hindu terrorist party and did his duty as expected of him.

Finally, we come to the much talked about "total neglect of development" which is called as Lalu's greatest crime. Bihar was a devastated, criminalised state even before Lalu took charge. Why did the "highly educated" upper caste rulers of Bihar neglect their own state? Why they wanted only Lalu to change the track and shift from "destruction" to "development"? Alright. Did they allow him at least one single night's sound sleep ever since he took over Bihar 15 years ago?

CM put in jail: The upper castes hated him so much that they managed to get him arrested even when he was the chief minister on charges of corruption for which there is no evidence.

But the well-proved charges against a Brahmin Chief Minister Jayalalita were simply overlooked. With such hate burning within the hearts of upper castes, how can any victim of caste hatred get any peace of mind in Bihar or for that matter India?

Lalu was the victim of such a Hindu hatred and it was at this juncture we met him on his invitation when he was in the jail as CM (DV Edit Oct.16, 1997: "Lalu's Bihar gets ready for bloody varna yudh against Brahminical Social Order").

Paradise of parasites: Following Lalu's defeat, once again the enemies have started mocking him for "neglect of development". But DV family members may go back to our Editorial in the Dec.1, 2005 issue (“DV extends caste identity to economic planning: Development redefined") in which we have discussed "Lalu's experiments in Bihar" (p. 4&5).

The critics' charge is that Lalu fell because he kept Bihar out of the country's mainstream planning process of "growth" and "development" which the rest of India accepted in toto.

No. We don't accept this argument. The "growth" and "development" are the two pet mantras of the upper castes (15%) who became rulers following this route. The fruits of "growth" and "development" went mainly to this urban-bred, urban-educated yuppies. You can find them in plenty in Bangalore — the paradise of parasites. Manmohan Singh recites the same World Bank mantras. Yes, millions of jobless Bihari "low castes" and poor Muslims fled away in search of jobs because Lalu neglected "growth and development". This is their charge. That millions migrated out of Bihar is true. All those constitute the poorest who are also the voters of Lalu. Will Lalu put a knife into his own stomach by allowing his voters to desert him?

The fact is Lalu was not allowed to take any step to "develop" Bihar. The bureaucracy, judiciary, media, contractors, professionals were all upper castes and enemies of Lalu coming in the way of any "development and growth" of Bihar. They did not allow him even a single night's sound sleep.

Future Prime Minister: How can the same people now complain of neglect of "growth" and "development"? These twin tasks need peace of mind, time to think and plan. Did Lalu enjoy these things even for a day?

They carried on a systematic campaign against him to ruin his political career itself fearing that he may one day become the Prime Minister of India. Brahminical forces know their friends and also their foes. Lalu has been tested and found to be the deadliest enemy of these forces. Hence this barrage of bombardment. There is a method in their madness also.

The critics of Lalu are saying that he never thought of "growth" and "development" in Bihar. Will these critics tell us which state in India is having "growth" and "development"? Which other cowbelt BIMARU states recoever from their sickness? The little "growth" and "development" is confined to urban India where the upper casts live. Even urban slums are growing.

This twin monsters of "growth" and "development" have devastated the whole countryside. Lalu alone cannot be court-martialled for the topsy-turvy World Bank- dictated (Western) model of economic planning which is not in our interest. We want social justice — not "growth" and "development".
