Patna: Now everyone knows Lalu Prasad Yadav can entertain, but this one was a surprise even by his standards â artistes dancing on top of a moving train ala Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora.
But whatever, King Khan can do, Railway minister Lalu Prasad can definitely do better and dancers on top of the train was what Lalu organised for the entertainment of his people in Bihar.
Dancing on top of a special coach reserved for the minister, the naach-gaana troop entertained one and all. What about the cost of arranging the event?
Says one of the artists Reena Mehta, " Laluji has given me Rs 1 lakh. I am thankful to him."
So what did these dance artists think of the show?
Says another dancer Shreya, "We were very excited. It's tough to dance on a moving train, but we had a great time."
The crowds went mad with excitement. Undoubtedly, when it comes to making it to the headlines Lalu has mastered the art, even if it requires sailing through yet another controversy.
"People want me to start new trains. They wonder if I have done magic, but you wait and see, this is just a trailer of what I have to offer," says Lalu.
So was this another PR gimmick and was Lalu wasting public money? Well whatever, it was, the rail mantri sure knows how to keep the public happy.
