The wrong track

When reporters asked former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad for a reaction on why his successor Mamata Banerjee was trying to mock his work by bringing out her White Paper, he asked, “Do you know any tantric? I need to consult one.” As the reporters wondered why the RJD chief needed a tantric, Prasad added, “I think there is something wrong with the time of my birth. Earlier, I faced this fodder scam and now people are after me for unnecessary reasons. - New-age devdas a senior citizen - Rlys white paper shows black spot in Lalu era - Mamata dismisses Lalu Prasad's claims on Indian Railways' turnaround - Under Lalu, railways incurred Rs 14k cr loss in "08-09 - LS adjourned over Telangana">LS adjourned over Telangana - Left Front calls for political consensus on agitation mode I think I need to consult a tantric to take some corrective steps!” When a reporter pointed out that Banerjee’s White Paper said Prasad had increased the tatkal quota and reduced the quota for the general category (the tatkal quota seats cost more) in order to make more money for the Railways, Prasad asked, “So, what does Mamatadidi expect? Passengers should be allowed to travel free of cost?”

India's growing economy to fuel oil demand: Opec
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) has projected that a rise in India’s gross domestic product (GDP) would lead to increased oil consumption next year. India oil demand was not affected by the economic crisis in 2009, and next year’s oil usage is forecast to grow further. All sectors are seeking more energy and new vehicle registrations are expected to continue the fast growth of 2009. These factors would push up oil demand by 15 per cent, making it the fastest growing product in terms percentage rise, Opec said.
