Patna: If there's one leader who is unabashed about promoting his own family's interests, it's Rashtriya Janata Dal President Laloo Yadav.
Not satisfied with making his wife Rabri Devi the chief minister, brother-in-law Sadhu Yadav an MLC and eldest daughter Misa Bharati a "doctor", he has now secured an MBBS admission for his second daughter Rohini Acharya, 18, through the backdoor.
Helping Rohini vault over the merit criterion was Tata Iron and Steel Company which got her admission to the medical college in Jamshedpur through a seat reserved for the children of Tata employees.
The move has raised protests from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) which has accused Laloo of promoting his seven daughters and two sons while the Charwaha Vidyalaya (schools for shepherd boys) started by him were in a miserable state.
"If Laloo stays in power for a few more years, his house will be full of doctors regardless of their merit," says the ABVP's Shiv Narayan. Five years ago, student organisations and opposition parties had protested when Misa got admission to the medical course along with Asma, the daughter of Road Construction Minister Ilyas Hussain.
This year, among the four to get admission under the "Tata quota" is the daughter of Laloo's man Friday Anwar Ahmed. Now that Rohini has gained admission, there's a move to shift her to the Patna Medical College for "security reasons", as it was done with Misa.
