'Ram Ya Rozgaar?': The Real Winners & Losers of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections

The Quint  

The grey-haired Prasad was no political novice but a nine-time MLA. He was then a young political activist, a self-confessed ‘chela’ of the former Prime Minister and Lok Dal leader Chaudhary Charan Singh. Such was his devotion to his mentor that he could not attend his father’s last rites as he was away in Amethi during the 1981 by-polls in which Rajiv Gandhi made his electoral debut by defeating the Lok Dal’s Sharad Yadav. Prasad was Yadav’s campaign manager and had been instructed by Charan Singh not to leave the counting room till the last vote was counted. Prasad’s staunch loyalty extended to ‘Netaji’ Mulayam Singh Yadav when the Samajwadi Party was formed in 1992.
