New Delhi, November 21: Against the backdrop of impending Lok Sabha elections, Union Railway Minister and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav did a delicate balancing act on relations with the Congress party.

Though maintaining that today is the age of coalition politics, Lalu Prasad was effusive in his praise of Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi.

While speaking at a summit in New Delhi, Lalu said, “Rahul Gandhi is doing today what Mahatma Gandhi did when he returned to India. He is going to the nook and corner of India reading the pulse of the people”.

Rahul Gandhi doing what Bapu did, says Lalu by Dr.C.S.Rangarajan on 22 Jan 2009

It is true that Rahul Gandhii has grown taller for his shoes, but he will never be equal to the foot dust of the Great Soul. Comparison looks cheap. Flattery is embarrassing for the recipient and degrades the donor. Lalu appears to be a staunch believer is cheap popularity

Dissolve the congress by Devendra Patel on 22 Jan 2009

Bapu wanted to dissolve congress, is that Rahul doing now?

Wats rahul fault !!! by moin on 22 Nov 2008

Come on people be fair... All politicians sons are following footsteps of their fathers.Atleast Rahul is not hogging limelight or indicted for any any corrupt act.I don't understand why people are so angry with him.I can name you numerous cases of politicians from so called dynastry involved not only in corruption but also murder cases(remember manu sharma) Give him a break !!

Dynasty Fool by Dhanesh on 22 Nov 2008

Does he know what is India. He is spending Dynasty party money collected by force going around with the Spanish patner to enjoy in all corners.

I am fully agree with Lalu by SANJAY on 21 Nov 2008

I alway said mohan das gandhi was no different than rahul or current leader of congress.It was congress which spoiled Hindustan. India got freedom because of life sacrifices by Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandrashekhar, Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru Vir Savarkar. These selfish congress demogogues served their end from Gandhi , nehru to rahul, arjun singh, sonia all are same.

What a Shame by Rohit on 21 Nov 2008

I have heard Rahul speaking during the rally's, he just don't have it. The shameless sycophants will make him PM one day, that is for sure but it is really disgraceful. They almost made his dumb Mom our PM, Can you believe this woman hasn't given one press conference till date, she never interacts with media, because there questions are extempore, you don't have prepared answers, she reads her speaches in rallys or summits, but never interacts with media, what a shame!!!!

Shame on us by Rakesh Kumar on 21 Nov 2008

Everytime I think India is improving, shedding its feudal past and then I come across a piece of reporting that reminds me about the deep seated sychophancy ingrained in us. Shame on us that even after 60 years of democracy we still cannot find true grassroot level leader who have the vision beyond their immediate family. When is true India going to wake up?

Rahul the fool. by Carmela on 21 Nov 2008

If Lalu knows Rahul that well then please let us know what is the qualification/education of Rahul gandhi. Once it was reported in newspaer about Rahuls mental (dis) ability.

Lalu - a growing fan of Rahul by A.NATARAJAN on 21 Nov 2008

Let Lalu also join with Rahul in visiting the nook and corner of India, to read the pulse of the people. Probably he may be doing it keeping in mind his selfish goals. He should, however, stop comparing Rahul with the great Mahatma Gandhiji. Rahul has got no political maturity or general knowledge. His only qualification is that he is from Nehru's family.

humbug by vishal on 21 Nov 2008

When Mahatma Gandhi started he too had no "political maturity or general knowlede". All he had was a desire to change things for the greater good of people. I don't know about you. But the way Rahul Gandhi is going about the business of meeting people and going to the nook and cranny of the country, it gives me hope that maybe...just maybe, a leader is getting ready to emerge out of the sewer that is modern indian politics today. Keep your fingers crossed and your cynicism in check. May be someday, seeing the tattered and battered state of some of his poorest countrymen will make something click in his mind and produce an epochal leader that india so desperately needs right now.....

Height of Sycophancy by rohit on 21 Nov 2008

With loosing vote share in Bihar, Laloo is taking the way of Mulayam/Amar Singh party. And trying to keep his corrupt legacy alive by allying with most corrupt congress. These people were born for the simple reason 'Anti-congressism', and now these opportunists are comparing a useless son of a dumb super PM with Mahatma Gandhi, thousands of people have done that are they all Gandhi ? What a comparison, this is the height of Chaatoo tendency , Height of Sycophancy ....

LALU'S CONGRESS by YN SAHOO on 21 Nov 2008

BY SAYING THAT RAHUL IS DOING WHAT MAHATMA GANDHI WAS DOING, LALOO SHOULD RENAME RAHUL AS "MAHATMA" RAHUL. THOSE CORRUPT PERSONS HAVE NO WAY TO ESCAPE THE COURTS AND CASES AGAINST THEM, THIS IS THE ONLY MANTRA. SHAME TO LALOO, WHO WAS AGAINST INDIRA GANDHI AND CONGRESS'S PARIVAR POLITICS.

LALU'S CONGRESS by YN SAHOO on 21 Nov 2008

BY SAYING THAT RAHUL IS DOING WHAT MAHATMA GANDHI WAS DOING, LALOO SHOULD RENAME RAHUL AS "MAHATMA" RAHUL. THOSE CORRUPT PERSONS HAVE NO WAY TO ESCAPE THE COURTS AND CASES AGAINST THEM, THIS IS THE ONLY MANTRA. SHAME TO LALOO, WHO WAS AGAINST INDIRA GANDHI AND CONGRESS'S PARIVAR POLITICS.

Shamless B--ds by C.K.Sunil on 21 Nov 2008

Laloo will even say this rahul is the grand grand -- son of Mahathma Gandhi. This types of b------s will not give peace to the departed soul at the heavens also. He ruined Bihar and for their livelyhood they have migrate to other states and we have seen the result in Maharastra.

congress is full of sycophants by ashok pai on 21 Nov 2008

the entire congress party is forced to act according to one family and its whims. proof of that was margaret alva bursting out recently. india will not have true democracy until families rule the political parties.

Laloo by Anil Kumar on 21 Nov 2008

Some people have slavery in their blood and same seems true in case of Laloo, but it is not true . There is a solid reason behind all this. He does not want BJP to come in Power because of his Fodder Scam in Bihar. He is sure to go to jail if BJP is in power. If the centre has Congress Government, he will be safe. For this reason he wants to please the Congress high command since they will not touch him. This is the sme Laloo who was anti Indira earlier, now because of Fodder scam he has flip flopped. Laloo first come clean of Fodder scam and then say anything.

Rahul is doing what BAPU did by Syamasundara prasad Turaga on 21 Nov 2008

WOW! what a remark on Rahul Gandhi? Does Lalu can say with confidence what Rahul is doinh. Is it not big bulshit comment from Lalu.

Rahul Gandhi by KK Sharma on 21 Nov 2008

Why are we angry with Rahul?What is his fault? Why are we so envious of him? Comapare him with son of other selfish Indian/state leaders and thier outlook with that of him... You have sukhbir badal, Abhay

Political crimes and Press amounts to malevolence-- by romesh.sharma on 21 Nov 2008

No,not atall.No one is angry or envious about him.Its not Rahul but people like Laoo who play pranks and prate to defame Hinduism and now the father of the Nation by comparing a just novice guy like Rahul.Its pity to have people like him who are cancerous to the whole political system of our Land.May I ask why and how Rahul is appointed as Gen.Sec of congress? Does he deserve that? What special qualification he has? and what political experience he has?Is it not true that he knew a little about his own constituency Amethi which was illegaly grabed from Rani of the area by his great grand father?Exaggerated praises and too much media concern is the reason people won't digest.If he is intelligent enough he should stand up on own feet and nobody has anything against him.His mother is the other reason who has no right to sit/occupy the position she is holding.He is not worth as its being propagated and must be treated as per his intrinsic values and not because he pretends to be polished.Moreover he is no special that one is to be jealous about.In fact he is an object to be pitied upon.

Rahul/Bapu and Laloo by Varinder on 21 Nov 2008

Laloo should dissolve and merge RJD with Congress since Rahul is doing what Bapu Gandhi used to do. This action will make Laloo true Gandhian, discipiles of Gandhi Ji.

Lalu's character by vandha on 21 Nov 2008

Earlier you were praising Sonia and now his son..Lalu instead concentrate on doing something for your state...

Lalooji ... Man ki bat kholke kahiye by S.N. Kutty on 21 Nov 2008

Lalu Yadav was once a Hero against Indira Gandhi.. Now his Votebank has disappeared and wants to stayin politics with the help of Congress Supporters and this makes him say such things. All thse years he/she was a either state or central minister.How can he survive without a minister's position.

Height of appeasement--- by romesh.sharma on 21 Nov 2008

In his vains flow the blood of slavery.LalooPYadav is the worst kind of living example of opportunism and a***licking.This is blatant defamation and blasphemous to the name and person of Mahatma Gandhi.How cunningly and obsequiously he is obliging sonia like a slave.A person like him is ignominicous to the job he is holding..

AGAIN GANDHI by ashok govind shah on 21 Nov 2008

Each elections crosses the limit of sycophancy.Once AICC presedent Barua said INDIRA IS INDIA AND INDIA IS INDIRA.Now borrowe musketiar of congress Lalu Yadav saying that ahul gandi is doing what gandhi was doing after he came from Africa.Somany stalvert of emence credibility have sacrifice their lives to follow the dictate of Mahatma.But those wants to be Instant Gandhi are erupting on the eve of elections and sycophants like Lalu Yadav seconding the glorification of N
