A fool in rail bhavan

It doesn't take a long time to recognize a fool. For the Indian public it almost took four years to ascertain the foolishness of Hon Railway Minister Mr Laloo Prasad Yadav

The first four years of his stint have been full of hype, hope and jubilation. He was carried over by the inept Indian news media's (NDTV, CNN-IBN) cajoling and had nurtured the thought of becoming prime minister of India (oh my God!)

There were students from reputed (I will contest that claim though) business schools like Harvard, Wharton et al. queuing up to hear Lalu's business lectures. But finally the truth has emerged.

As Wharton and Harvard graduates and alumni are begging the federal government for bailout after bailout, Lalu's profitable railways has started deteriorating.


Indian Railways was supposed to be a transport for the public and not a capitalist corporate for making profits. In past many railway minister held similar views and have made many changes for the benefit of rail passengers.

Madhu Dandavate initiated improvements in second-class railway travel for passengers by replacing the wooden berths with berths consisting of two inches foam.

Poor Laloo increased the load of the Goods wagons and overloaded the tracks and now has introduced Side Middle berths





Poor management and maintenance has caused fire accidents
