Lalu joins Holi celebrations

Patna, Mar 3 (UNI) Getting into the mood of Holi, a day ahead of the festival, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today doled out colour to the scribes and ''Sushasan ka Gutkha'' to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Mr Prasad, along with his wife Rabri Devi joined a select group of invitees at his residence here in the Holi fanfare.

Releasing ''Sushasan ka Gutkha'', a satirical discourse on Nitish Kumar government, the Railway Minister said the Chief Minister had assumed power on ''contract'' as was evident with the way teachers and engineers were being recruited on contract in Bihar.

He said today's celebrations were only symbolic as the real action will take place tomorrow.

''The NDA government has been engaged in making announcements while the ground realities continue to remain unchanged,'' he added.
