Blog Prasad Yadav: Lalu Joins the Celeb Blogwagon

While we were busy talking about mobile apps and browsers and startups and what not, Laloo Prasad Yadav quietly joined the blogosphere on May 30th (well not so quietly after all).
Another Marketing Bait
So basically, our dear railway minister is blogging at myPopCorn.com as its celebrity blogger. Not much activity, but for someone as busy as him two posts in a week’s time is not bad. Of course it is quiet evident a crowd pulling marketing game by the ESSEL group backed DMCL, much like Amitabh getting on board ADAG’s Big Adda.
The blog itself is in true politician style catering to everyone’s needs, so you have an English and Hindi version available at the click of a tab to go with an audio podcast (which I conveniently ignored) of the same.
Big Internet Celebrity
Having said that, Laloo was already a web celebrity in his own right even before he broke his web virginity with the blog. So we have dating site LalooRabri about which he innocently quipped. “Dating Mane To?” and the numerous fan blogs all around the net. In fact some ingenious brain even created a Lalu’s PC the video of which is currently running on YouTube.
All in all the marketing warfare between these various Social Networking Sites are keeping the press and us busy. And the only good thing that I can really see out of this is blogs getting into the mainstream, which we gladly welcome of course.

That’s a gud news provided he’s regular with his blog and respond to public’s queries. Our Leaders are not accessible in their plush offices, atleast through their blogs public can get in touch with them
Best of luck Laluji

You are the most successful politician in the world of this era. You have did lot of things to be remembered by us and railway is one of them. There is still lot of things to do in the railway system. On of them is to provide best customer service to the customer.
I would like to draw your attention about my trip story to Katihar (my native place) from Delhi. I was traveling in North East express, everything was fine till BARAUNI junction. When Barauni came JRP came in our coach, which is supposed to protect us from gunda gardi and looting. Interestingly, they asked for Identity card and started extracting money from the poor people of Bihar and North-East region who are going home after earning money by working day and night in Delhi and neighboring area. When I resisted, they threatening me to thrown out from the coach and I think the system of looting by JRP is still there. This is what happened to me about six month earlier. Now I am in Dublin (Ireland) and again planning to visit my mother land with the hope that the experience will be better this time with Indian railway.
Dear Sir,
There is no doubt that there is some change you made in overall performance of indian railways but there is still a huge gap that need to be filled.We claim that we improved profits of indian railways …agreed,but apart from this there is lot of things to do,like:
01.Cleanliness: Stations are kept so dirty ,nobody can even think of standing in platforms,lots of mud shits lying on tracks ….Unbearable.We need to stop selling food in platform area.
02.Passanger are just sleeping in platforms and hardly you can find place to move.This causes accidents and other mishappening.We can have huge waiting hall outside the platform area and only those whose trains are coming should be allowed.All tickets should be scanned before entry to restrict movement of people inside.China inspite of having huge population is managing this very well and platforms are so neat and clean.We must implement the same system.
03.Comfort : People get the seat reserved but many times it is seen that they don’t get seat even the paid for it,unauthorized people are entering the boggie and creating hell of problems.Our police is not strong enough to handle the situation.
04.Stop unauthorized travelling: A lots of rallys are conducted by our politicians and people travel without ticket.A very recent case of M S Tiket’s rally in haridwar caused hell of problem to all passenger.These rally people travelled without ticket and even beaten the TTE.
I am having lots of suggestions to be implemented to improve our railways performance,we need to realy tighten our administration system and make the things more automated to control and improve.Please call me to have one to one discussion and I will tell you what best practices I saw in other countries.
Hope you will try to improve quality of railway service and will make INDIAN RAILWAY a proud and an example for other developing nations.

dear laluji
i want to pose a question to all politicians of india,i.e, if all the politicians swear about their honesty then why don’t they volanteer to be checked by CBI about their assets before becomong MP or minister and after becoming an MP or minister for one term?
