No squatting

While Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's two sons - Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav and state Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav - have decided to live with their father instead of moving into the official bugalows they are entitled to, several newly-elected RJD and Janata Dal (United) MLAs have "claimed" bungalows of their choice without allotment. A distraught Prasad last week denounced such behaviour and reminded them of the "great responsibility on their shoulders to honour the huge mandate (of the electorate)". He went on to recount his experience of staying in the peon's quarter of a veterinary college for four months after becoming the state's chief minister in 1990. "I even held a janata darbar (interface with the people) there," he added.
