White lies-Read the Telegraph

Magic cannot stand up to the scrutiny of reason. Thus, the ‘magical’ performance of Lalu Prasad as the railways minister and his claims of being a “management guru” have now been proven to be nothing but a sham by Mamata Banerjee. Her white paper has clearly proved that under Prasad, the railways had made an improbable claim. At the time Prasad was taking credit for a turnaround in the railways’ fortunes, he was criticized for his inaction in Bihar. Prasad actually did very little to uplift the state during the time he was in power. These criticisms would probably grow stronger, now that the “white paper” about his performance in the railways has been made public.
