Once Laloo Prasad was in Kolkata to meet Jyoti Basu. At the meeting, Laloo mentioned that he was impressed how Jyoti babu could manage to have such a long innings. He was a great example for the Yadav family to follow. Laloo wanted to know what was Jyoti babu's secret. To this Jyoti Basu replied 'My dear, it is simple. I manage everything by applying common sense and I gather such ministers around me who do the same. Do you want to see how it works?' Laloo agreed readily. Jyoti Basu picked up the telephone and called Buddhadev Bhattacharya and said 'I have a question for you and need an immediate answer. Suppose your parents have an issue which is neither your sister nor your brother - who is it?' Buddhadev replied 'Comradeda, this is really simple - its me!'
Laloo was very impressed. Returning to Patna he wanted to check on his people so he posed the question to Rabri Devi. She thought and thought but had no answer. Finally she called Sadhu Yadav and posed the question to him. Sadhu also could not find an answer so he called up Upen Biswas and asked him for the correct answer mentioning that he had done a lot of harm to the Yadav family , now atleast he could do one good thing. Biswas heard the question and promptly replied 'Its me'. The answer was relayed to Rabri Devi who dutifully told her husband that the correct answer to the question was 'Upen Biswas'. Hearing this Laloo got angry and said 'You fool, the correct answer is Buddhadev Bhattacharya'!!
