USUAL SUSPECTS
Chanced upon a PTI story today that says Lalu Yadav's
b-i-l "demanded" a first class coach on the Rajdhani saying he "was the Parliament". You read that right. Only in Bihar. Who's to stop our slimy politicians? And in this case, their genes are crook-configured too...
Enjoy:
Patna, Jul 1 (PTI)
Railway Minister Lalu Prasad's high-profile brother-in-law and RJD MP Subhash Yadav, who was in the news for "ordering" authorities to stop a train at the platform of his choice, allegedly demanded a berth for himself and his aides in the AC first class coach of the Rajdhani Express.
"I am the Parliament.. I am the Parliament," Yadav shouted at the top of his voice and ordered making arrangement for a berth for him in AC first class coach of the Patna-New Delhi Rajdhani Express instead of in the AC second class, in which he was booked, last night.
Yadav claimed to have applied for reservation in the AC first class coach and occupied a seat in the AC first class compartment against the alloted berth, eyewitnesses said.
The train was delayed by nearly 20 minutes, triggering protests from other passengers.
Yadav was recently in the news for allegedly ordering the Patna junction station authorities to stop Rajdhani Express on platform number one for his comfort instead of on the assigned platform number four. The officials at Patna junction, including the station manager and deputy general manager (commercial), however, remained tight lipped over the episode but confirmed that the train left the station 20 minutes behind schedule....
Prasad's father-in-law was recently fined for travelling in AC first class coach in Samapark Kranti Express from Hajipur to Gopalganj without a valid ticket.
