For a man ridiculed constantly, Lalu Prasad will die a happy man. He will forever be credited with changing the face of Indian Railways. I dont care if a politician is corrupt, as long as he does his job even after that

you guys are nuts.....just what is that Lalu has done?show profits? since when did the indian railways become like a reliance to show profits?The main reason for the formation of the Indian Rail is to provide every citizen with a mode of travel that is dignified, reliable,safe, secure and above all comfortable...and amybe even extravagant for those who can afford it....and dear friends Lalu has failed in all thse accounts....just shoring up numbers doesnt make the railways more efficient.....it's easy to show revenues by cutting costs but then where does it lead to?

Ravi Krishnan you said, "..The main reason for the formation of the Indian Rail is to provide every citizen with a mode of travel that is dignified, reliable,safe, secure and above all comfortable..." I agree, we Indians ask for comfortable, secure, and reliable dignified trains but don't want to pay for it. It had been a problem for the past many years and railways was running on LOSS, atleast Lalu is doing better and for the first time it is making profit and yes the main reason that you are talking about is being looked upon too. WE can't talk about those main reasons you specified without money... And Lalu is just doing what others like Nitish in NDA could not do. Why not applause for the same? The budget is commendable.
