Lalu is having to do a lot of hard work to make an upset Ramvilas Paswan come around. Ramvilas took offence to RJD’s senior leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh’s comment where he gave a zero to Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party. The RJD and Lok Janshkati Party are already in a tussle about seat sharing. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Lalu had given Ramvilas 12 seats in Bihar, and Paswan wants the same number of seats this year, too, while Lalu and his team wants to give him only four-six seats this time, with the reasoning that  Lok Janshakti party didn’t have enough candidates for elections. The fact is that this time, the Congress and the NCP are also a part of the Lalu-Paswan coalition. When things went  awry, and some of JD (U)’s politicians started to do the rounds to Paswan, Lalu sprung into action and he sent Abdul Bari Siddiqui to Ramvilas Paswan’s home. Abdul Bari had Paswan speak to Lalu from there, and Lalu spoken in a conciliatory tone and told Paswan, “We are old friends, we have fought elections in tough conditions. There are lot of possibilities for us this time, and if we contest together, we can defeat everyone.” Paswan is all molten wax now, all he needs is Lalu for a mould.
