I was in half a mind to call this post aalu prasad yadav (I refuse to use capitalization for his name, on principle) on account of the time when TV cameras caught the then CM of Bihar proudly cooking Aalu for his darling wife, but I decided against insulting the staple food of Poland... At least potatoes serve a lot of purpose.
That said, let me shed some light on my perceptions of our current, highly respected and successful Railways Minister, lallu (yes the pun is intended! and in future i shall refer to him as just lallu) prasad yadav. Said lallu has 9 children, 2 boys and 7 girls, in protest against the forced sterilization during the emergency. Of course not for his satisfaction! Duh, you guys should realize it was REALLY hard work for him and it was a great self sacrifice for a very noble cause. He should be awarded the Bharat Ratna for....
His love for his nation was further demonstrated when he elected his wife Rabri Devi to be his succesor when he was forced to resign because of the Fodder Scam. She also did her part in serving her country when she joined him in Jail (yes he's a frequent "guest" there). So have all his fellow party members who have criminal charges against them.
Oh and did I mention that he was charged also with possesing disproportionate assets... Hmmm i wonder where he got all that money and time between serving his country, protesting against the emergency and cooking aalu for his wife and kids.
One of lallu's greatest achievements in his sojurn as the railways minister was the introduction of (wait for it) earthen pots for selling tea in stations instead of plastic cups. I must admit he must have had a brain wave and run screaming eureka... After all, us lesser mortals can only think of styrofoam containers or even bio-degradable (recycled) paper cups instead of plastic. And his Idea has changed my life. I mean i drink tea only out of earthen pots in stations and trains, I swear!
My friend (who is a staunch supporter of lallu) once told me that lallu has single handedly turned around the railway sector and that his policies are studied in Harvard and IIM. To him and all of you out there I say, if after 11 years of mistakes in politics, if a person still doesnt know what works, then he aint just a lallu... And only a lallu takes 11 years of mistakes to help create a success of the next 4 years!
As the time comes near for a next (older) generation of Gandhis (a.k.a Congress) and BJPs to take over the running of an (at best) shaky government, I say, hail all the lallus out there for these people really DO manage to make a difference... And maybe in about another 200 years we'll be developed!!!

sorry jaya
but laloo ki aloo aab pakka hua he.
to mani:
But laloo ki aalu pakne ke liye 11 saal lage. in those 11 years, he has eaten tax payers (a.k.a our parents) money.
also the mob charging points are avail only in AC, and the toilets are NOT cleaned every 4 hours (trust me i travel a LOT). When he has stolen his fill and gotten as much power he could ask for and sired as many kids as he could, thats when he decided he shall do some good for india. he put himself 1st and India second. and i dont think thats a trademark for a good politician.
u and i could go on debating this 4ever, however, u have ur opinion i have mine, n i shall leave this at that.
and to cap it off, i say, i care that our country is run by criminals who dont respect the laws they are sworn to protect.
witty and made a point..!! :D
nice one again..!!man im sooo gonna miss you when i go back..!! :D
Well written. Keep it up.
As far as I am concerned, I am sure he still manages to swindle cash from the railways budget with the same ease, but as long as he maintains the progress rate of Railways sector above zero, no one is going to give a damn about it. Add to that, the short term memory of the public.
You have to give him credit where its due - Behind his trademark style of speech and mop like hair, he is a real smart ass.
to rekha:
tks da... am gonna miss u too big time... but no matter, we can always hangout at ekm
to el cid:
tks. and yeah, definitely, he is one of the shrewdest. which makes him worse than a dumb politician, the species/strain whcih seems to be an epidemic in India.
hmmm hate him so much eh? :) nice writing.. very strong and trenchant :)
Now they have found that Lallu along with IIM-A professor has done a fraud in the profit figure which was shown.They exaggerated the railway assets,and thereby increasing the profit figure of the Indian Railways.They didnt announce any fare hike in the budget but fare hikes were made through day to day circulars(hidden hikes) and tatkal reservations were increased to get more money and thereby increasing the revenue
