‘Jab tak samosa mein rahega aalu, Bihar mein rahega Lalu’ was the famous statement by Lalu Prasad Yadav. He has often proved it right by getting back to power against all odds. The present Bihar government was indeed formed with the alliance of Lalu’s RJD party. Lalu has even made his 26 year old son Tejashwi Yadav to be the deputy chief minister. But, in what is seen as a mockery towards the Lalu’s golden statement, the present cabinet of Bihar has laid a luxury tax on Samosa. According to the decision taken by cabinet on Tuesday, 13.5 percent of tax will be imposed on sweets priced more than 500 Rs a kg. Briefing about the cabinet decisions, Principal Secretary of Bihar revealed that Luxury tax would also be laid on salty items like samosa, kachauri and branded namkin products. Since the formation of Bihar government in November 2015, Lalu has often irked the government with some critical comments. Now! Everyone is eager to know the reaction of Lalu at the present SAMOSA ISSUE.
