Summer of 69

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad turned 69 on Saturday. He celebrated the day by cutting a cake weighing 69 kg, flanked by his wife Rabri Devi and two sons Tejaswi Yadav, deputy chief minister of Bihar, and Tej Pratap Yadav, the state minister for health. The youth wing of the RJD presented him a garland that weighed - you guessed it - 69 kg. "I want Bihar to reach new heights under the grand secular alliance government," Prasad said. "This is my birthday wish."
