Lalu Prasad: Yes; Rabri Devi: No. The two opposition leaders are trying to win back the confidence of the masses in Bihar. But in their backyard, the result of their exertions is mixed. Phulwaria, Lalu Prasad's birthplace, sees overwhelming support for the Yadav leader. Three kms away at former chief minister Rabri Devi's village Salar Kala, people, however, want Nitish Kumar to return to head the state.
A stone's throw from Rabri Devi's ancestral home, there is a health centre in Salar Kala. "The centre was built long ago. Only recently, during Nitish Kumar's regime, have we seen doctors coming regularly. Medicines have been made available," says Jain Kumar Singh, a vendor of mobile phone connections.
