Poem on Lalu gets man job with Railways

Living up to his image as a ‘Messiah of the poor’, Railways Minister Lalu Prasad offered a youth a job with the railways after hearing a shayeri (quartet) composed by him. Budding poet Feroz Alam had composed the 'shayeri' in praise of the Railways Minister and got an opportunity to present it before Prasad at a function organised at the Kolkata terminal.

Alam had just began singing Apna Lalu-ji ko hum hargis bhula sakte nahin/ yeh jo Railway hai, dusra koi chala sakta nahin, when the Railways minister stopped him and told one of the officers, usko bahal kar lo.

Son of a septugenerian mason, Alam resides in Belgachhia area close to the terminal and works as a 'surmawalla.' He also sells sarees at time
