Lalu Yadav and Railway Tickets that Nobody Purchases

Friends, this is called real progress. We all know that, in February, the honorable parents-in-law of our honorable Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav were caught travelling without ticket in the AC first class coach of the Sampark Kranti Express in Bihar. The couple, in their late seventies, were travelling from Hajipur to Siwan when the train ticket examiner at Chhapra discovered that they were tickeless.

This is, however, a seven months' old story. A new dawn has started in Indian railway today. Today, while daring the NDA government for all their bad acts in Bihar by announcing a chetavani (warning) rally on October 28, the honorable Railway minister also asked party workers to get “tickets” for the rally. “I have asked in-charges of the rally to get tickets booked for workers. We may end up reserving several compartments to ferry party workers from the state capital and back.”

This is a really rally railly good progress!

...But Alas! He will not get his in-laws in the rally.
