Most people and particularly the self styled know all 'Financial Wizards' are ignorant of Railways and try to degrade Lalu because he is not a 'Brahmin'.
The truth known to people inside Railways is that 'Lalu' was a daring leader who made revolutionary changes in the 'Marketing' outlook of Railways completely.
In the process 'Lalu' managed to completely wipe out large scale corruption from the system and criminal cartel operating in the system. 1. Lalu allowed loading wagons to their top limits of 64 tonnes resulting in complete eradication of bribery to 'Goods Clerks'. The Iron ore transporting Rich 'Criminal cartel' with the involvement of BJP top guns was busted. 2. Lalu ensured the implementation of 'Mini Rake' scheme, with the Railways raking in a huge profits. 3. Lalu opened the avenues of advertisement on board and in the vast estates owned by Railways. 4. Lalu used technology to the fullest potential in bringing in 'Tatkal' and putting to use IRCTC to rake in huge profits to the nation.
Those are the few of his hundreds of reformations in Railway that is considered by 'Top Management Institutes' worldwide.
The way he kicked 'Varun Gandhi' and his supporters in their own way is enough to show how good a corporate leader 'Lalu' is. He is a stronger man for the criminal (viz., Varun) while one among the weak and oppressed.
In fact I won't be surprised if Lalu becomes the 'Prime Minister' this time around. And under Lalu, India could benefit a lot.
