CONCILIATION isn't a term associated with Rashtriya Janata Dal (rjd) chief Laloo Prasad Yadav, but that was at the fore when he met Congress president Sonia Gandhi last week. When she reproved him for the atrocities against Dalits in Bihar, he promised meekly to stand like a rock between the extremist groups and their victims. Laloo knew all too well that Sonia's support on President's rule in Bihar was reluctant, proffered in the teeth of strong opposition inside the party.
