Sushil Kumar Modi is one of the most decent and hard working political leaders in Bihar.  If today the Yadav clan is in the doghouse of corruption charges, a large part of the credit would go to this other Modi, who has over the years relentlessly pursued the leads, digging up evidence, producing reams of documents before the investigating agencies and the courts.  Had it not been for his dogged determination, I think it would be fair to say that Mr. Lalu Yadav & Family would have most probably got away.  What I also like about Sushil Modi is that he is as different from Amit Shah as chalk is from cheese.  And I am reasonably confident that his presence as a deputy to Mr. Nitish Kumar in the coalition, would work as a counter-balance to the sectarian impulses of the RSS in the state.
