Lalu’s Political Career
Lalu Prasad Yadav started his political career over four decades ago with his first election to the Lok Sabha from Bihar’s Chhapra seat (now called Saran) in 1977. Despite experiencing electoral setbacks, he continued to play a significant role in the Indian politics.
During his career, Lalu Yadav served multiple roles, such as an MLA, a chief minister, and a member of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Legal challenges arose when Lalu had to step down as Bihar’s chief minister in 1997 due to his involvement in fodder scam cases. Despite this, his popularity with the people of the state remained strong, and he continued to hold influence in Bihar’s political arena.
