I think one need not be an expert to tell this. Again my opinion. Traditionally, north got more money power and south more brain power. Politicians in North are worse than South. Trust me. I worked in UP 12 years ago, when there was not much IT in india. Despite crores of rupees with people, the infrastructure used to be so bad. Point is it's more corrupted than many southern states. If that's what UP is i can imagine what BIHAR could be under Laloo..
