When the Yadavs allowed LS to run for a while on Thursday, their statements were replete with claims on how the Muslim women will be impacted by the quota law. At one point, Lalu even asked Sonia Gandhi
why does Congress "hate" the community 80% of whose members had voted for it.
The other part of the anti-quota strategy has been a furious reaching out to members outside their grouping. Lalu lobbied Rahul Gandhi by touching a sensitive part of the young leader's campaign. Looking at Sonia Gandhi, he said he was seeking reservation for "Kalawati" whose home Rahul had visited but at whose name BJP leaders had sniggered in Parliament.
