Lalu- Masti Ki Patshala

Lalu in IIMA should have been a great learning experience for the guys. Good or Bad , thats for the guys to say. Most of us always have an opinion that Lalu was no Good. he is proclaimed for his Gundagardhi and the Fodder Scam. Imagine Cows were foddered for multi millions ( I hope I was one of the cows which the Prof. took care off , i wouldnt be working in a SW company and fixing bugs this way :-( )
When he became the railway minister in 2004 the white elephant( Indian Railways) was in huge loss and was falling towards bankruptcy. here comes our prof and makes a turn around. his philosophy is simple as he claims , "milk the cow else the cow will be sick ".Prasad said: "Wagon is the bread-earning horse of the Railways. Load it adequately. Make it run and don't stable it." The idea was to load the wagons in a better fashion and have a better turnaround there by increasing the freight capacity. His magic worked . The elephant is getting colored !!
I did see a couple fo people writing that lalu didnt do much the beauracrats were running the show and making this possible. Now where were these officers in the previous govts ? Probably they were milking the cows too . Some others were making remarks saying India's GDP is the factor for the turnaround .mmmm this is a good argument . But guys why take credit from Lalu... If a company makes a loss the CEO is cursed and if it runs into profits CEO needs to praised.
now whom wud u accolade for the railways performance ?

Madhu
