Lalu - the hoax

text of letter sent to Times of India:

"Bihar is too difficult. It has no potential. Per capita income is low. There are constant floods. But, the Railways is like an empire. It has huge potential". This quote of Lalu's, supposedly made to Haevard and Wharton students (vide your columns of the 28th Dec), if true, shows him for what he actually is. It is he who pushed Bihar to this sad state in the 15 years of his rule, and now he is almost abandoning it. He is no management guru. If the Railways has turned around, it is all inspite of him.
