Madam motivator

When the orders flow directly from Madam, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav sees to it that they are complied with at the earliest.

Which explains how the Railway8217;s Integral Coach Factory at Perambur managed to manufacture five state-of-the-art AC coaches for the Lifeline Express8212;the hospital on rails8212;in a record 144 days. Rail Bhavan sources say the feat could be accomplished only after Sonia Gandhi intervened the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation is involved with the project and asked the Railways to get things moving. The proposal to manufacture coaches for these trains had been languishing for a couple of years. With Sonia inaugurating the new train last week, Lalu was more than happy with his well-earned reward: a photo-op with Madam.
