The next 36 hours will be crucial for the alliance of three parties that governs Bihar. Lalu Yadav, who was raided on Friday, has called a meeting today of his legislators, who form the biggest group in the legislature. His 27-year-old son, Tejashwi Yadav, who is the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, has been accused of corruption by the CBI along with Lalu Yadav. As the opposition called for his resignation, Tejashwi Yadav announced he would not oblige - a pronouncement unsurprisingly endorsed by his party today.
