Jab Tak Rahega Samosa Mein Aaloo

Lalu Prasad Yadav’s political style was built on folksy Bihari idiom and rustic humour that connected instantly with rural voters. His best-known line, “Jab tak rahega samosa mein aaloo, tab tak rahega Bihar mein Lalu” (as long as there is potato in the samosa, there will be Lalu in Bihar), became a rallying cry through the 1990s and 2000s and remains one of Indian politics’ most quoted campaign slogans.
