Excerpts: • The Telegraph: What changes have you seen in Siwan after stepping out of jail after 11 years? Had I not been in jail, they wouldn't have left the party (RJD). (Mukhtar Ansari, another don-turned politician in UP, had earlier met Shahabuddin in Siwan jail). My supporters across the state remained with me right from Bhagalpur to Pratappur (Siwan) during my journey yesterday. But Gandhian thoughts have left a great imprint on my mind.
