2005 fallout on Lalu, Nitish villages

The Morning Standard

|

November 02, 2025

IN Bihar’s political heartland, two villages—Kalyan Bigha in Nalanda and Ful waria in Gopalganj — stand as contrasting portraits of their most illustrious sons, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR

Kalyan Bigha, Nitish Ku mar's ancestral village, mirrors the CM's focus on development and order. The once-sleepy hamlet now gleams with smooth roads, solar-lit lanes, and uninter rupted electricity. On the spectrum's far-end, former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav's Fulwaria reflects the fading imprint of a political era long past. Once popularly referred to as a “mini-secretariat” during the RJD’s rule from 1990 to 2005, Fulwaria is now lost in the tedious warp of time, with whatever once built now slowly withering away.
