Laloo(f)?

More showmanship from the consummate showman. L. P. Yadav is rumoured to be distancing himself from his coterie. An excerpt:

According to sources in Rail Bhavan, a letter classified ‘secret’, has been circulated among concerned Railway officers restricting them from entertaining requests for favours from any persons using the reference of Mr Yadav, his wife and Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi, other family members, RJD office bearers or any other cronies.

Lalu appears to be on his "scout's honour" this time around. Or is it just a matter of time before the Railway Ministry is relocated to Bihar?
