Parliament’s Most Quotable Politician

Across his years in the Lok Sabha and as Railway Minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav earned a reputation as one of Indian Parliament’s wittiest speakers. His one-liners and rustic humour, delivered in a mix of Hindi and broken English, regularly drew laughter from across the aisle, including from political rivals, and made him one of the most quoted and clipped Indian politicians of his generation.
