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.
