YES! A Lalu can be removed in a democracy (as will be happening once the results of this election are out!). But does ANY ONE of us have the capability to remove this scourge of Naxals once they establish themselves? Just remember Stalin before you ponder over the answer. I believe that we have to take this problem with UTMOST SERIOUSNESS. This event is an eye-opener (like many others!). If we still remain soft towards them, then the situation might be lost for ever!
