The 1990 Bihar Legislative Assembly election resulted in a decisive victory for the Janta Dal, riding on the pan-India victory of 1989 during V. P. Singh 's wave. Political manoeuvers ensured parliamentarian Lalu Prasad Yadav 's victory in the chief ministership battle against seasoned Bihar leader Ram Sundar Das , who was close to Janta party stalwarts like S.N. Sinha and Chandrashekhar.[1] [2]
