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.

Yeah dude, You made the correct statement - he is a stronger man for criminals. As he himself is one, he will stand by all criminals like a rock. And what have you said about some kick on varun & supporters ? ha ha ha , dude, once the election is over you will see your so called railways magician behind bars. Its only not to give him any sympathetic advantage that Nitish govt hasnt arrested him on the remarks he made againt Varun. You just wait and see after May 16, you will see him not in the parliament as PM but but in Tihar jail.

To say that Laloo turned railways around is the most cruel joke on the face of a common indian - who uses railways often. Only those experts who sits in the AC cabin of their office and only plays with the figures will make such a statement. Just look at the ground reality and then comment. The main reason for increase in railways profit is due to high amount of tatkal allocation for which a common man needs to pay rs.300 more. To get a normal ticket now a days has become that difficult that everyone turns to tatkal which gives railways more money, their profit - common man's loss. Then another thing laloo did was to introduce one more cruel joke - side middle berth. Only if someone travels in that fashion would understand the pain. Its not only difficult for the person traveling on that berth, but it makes other passengers lives miserable as this passenger has to be accomodated in the existing room for sitting. Result - extra passengers and more profit for railways - suffering for common 'aam aadmi' man. With crores of profit/reserves what has railways done for the common passenger ? his miserable travel conditions continues. He gets dirty compartments with rats & cokroaches. He gets the same dirty toilets at times with no water. He gets the same low quality food. In the last five budgets lalloo has put fwd he mentioned bullet train thrice, but in reality its just in the books. I wonder what has people seen other than these reality to shower praises on this manipulator.

Reality bites bro. You just continue with mktng illusion created around laloo. People knows what he has done and will give the verdict in Bihar, come to the blog after May 16, we can continue the debate after that. If you dont know the normal ethics for a debate then please educate yourself. The ploy to conncet all & everything to pak & jinnah is not the way.

Laloo, your uncle/ father not only contributed to India through Railways, but also by means of 10 children to the population of India. An unpad wife as the CM. Such a cruel joke on India. He may be many things, but a joker definitely. Bihar deserves him. Like people, like leader. Bihar will probably go the Pak way.....doom

Right. To make the Tatkal joke more cruel, Laloo just extended many of the Trains, so you end up paying even more for Tatkal Tickets.
Amenities are just for the Railway Minister. Last year, he transferred some top Officials from Bangalore (Punishment transfer) as they did not ensure that Laloo got food served at the Temperature that he wanted. Ofcourse, the transfers were later cancelled.

acontigent of people from Bihar were found without tickets in the south. When they were confronted they said, we are from Bihar and Railway Minister Laloo is from Bihar. So no ticket needed for them
