For most people, it seems like old harmless fun when talking about Laloo. He seems like a great guy who has turned the railways around.
Let me remind you that this is the guy that wreaked havoc in Bihar. The current state of Bihar is almost entirely Laloo's fault. Even though many politicians are corrupt, you can still see that the other states of India managed to show some progress. With Laloo, he actually managed to make the situation worse. I am a Bihari, and no person in the right state of mind can praise Laloo. Just go to Bihar and you will see what a total mess he has left it in. Nitish Kumar, although not the perfect politician himself, seems like an angel when compared to Laloo and has finally managed to bring some upswings In Bihar.
Folks, please be more careful when having harmless fun about Laloo and Bihar. This is the guy that has caused misery to so many people in Bihar - there is nothing funny about it. Laloo is the sole reason that we see Bihar's image the way it is today.
Just imagine - this is the same place where the greatest university in the world used to thrive. I pray, dream and work hard for Bihar reach the same heights again.

Great to see the way u put the collective thoughts about Bihar, Being a Bihari i feel proud but the way people perceive it is really hearting, Lalu offcourse took the turn around in Railways but he is a person and only person who can again take the pain to reform Bihar's future otherwise the way it's going is too slow and i may not alive by the time Bihar becomes Delhi or Mumbai instead of having better resources and Human capabilities.
Do something too save the great culture and great history that in india others can't boast off.

I dont support lalu politicis.. but tell me, were those officials and diplomats not in railways before lalu. why the railway was in such huge loss before him. and if not to his credit for renewal or raliway then who is the real leader for this improvement. why he is invited in IIM to lecture. why people from haward coming to take management lesson. dont they know that it is not lalu but officials who did the magic. remember friend,in war its soldiers who fight, but its commander who is the real man behind that. hope u understand what i mean. feel free to bash lalu as i am with u. but talk reasonably

Why do you give credit to Shah Jahan for building the Taj Mahal, but not to the laborers???

because he led the labourers and initiative came from Sahh Jahan. To creat something perfect, some perfect leadership is required. so we praise Shah Jahan

Rajesh, I understand your position on Laloo improving the railways and bringing a voice to the backward castes. But couldn't all this have been achieved without the total disaster he left behind in Bihar. Is there really anything to debate about that?
Laloo can take credit for improving the railways, but in now way can that act to erase the mess he created.
