In Siwan, 162 km from Bihar capital Patna and once the fief of Mohd Shahabuddin, gangster and former lawmaker from Lalu Yadav's RJD, a frail, 70-year-old man called Chanda Babu or Chandrakeshwar Prasad has welcomed Chief Minister Kumar's decision to partner with the BJP again in the state. It has rekindled his hope for justice, he says.
