"Lalu uses his blogspace to hit out at Vasundhara

By Swati Sharma in New Delhi

WHEN IT comes to expressing your angst and sarcasm against rivals, blogs are the favourite means of celebrities. Aamir Khan’s blog was in the news when he expressed his enmity against Shah Rukh Khan by naming his dog after him. So was Amitabh Bachchan who ridiculed the media and industry colleagues on his blog. The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Union railway minister Lalu Prasad. He has started his blog on mypopkorn. com. In his first blog post, Lalu lashed out against the inability of Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje to control the Gujjar agitation. Lalu is worried about Indian Railways’ revenue loss. “Raje was the root cause behind the spread of agitation by Gujjars, which has lost its direction… Vasundhara first promised reservation in the election manifesto and now, she is not keeping her word, which has fuelled the agitation further,” says the minister on his blog. Lalu says the agitation is being driven by Gujjar leaders who aspire to gain power through it. “This is not in the best interest of the country… the matter should have been resorted amicably.” He also expresses his anguish on railways’ property being misused by the agitators. “It is unfortunate that the Gujjars have vented their anger by disrupting rail lines, but they don’t realise they... dismantled the lifelines of the country,” he writes. Lalu decided to start his blog after he was briefed about the positives of having an open forum during an interview to mypopkorn. com . “These days, we need aplatform where leaders can connect with the general public and blogs are perfect for that,” said Ishwar Jha, CEO of Digital Media Convergence Ltd, owned by the Essar Group, which hosts the blog. The minister will update his blog twice aweek and readers can look forward to his personal experiences. “Every week, Lalu will pick up asubject of his choice and talk about it with our executive. This will then be translated and posted on the blog,” added Jha. Lalu’s blog has received 70 comments in the first three days of the posting."
