Lalu's 'rasgulla diplomacy' at its best

Lalu's 'rasgulla diplomacy' at its best
New Delhi:

It was 'rasgulla diplomacy' at its best by RJD Chief Lalu Prasad out of the corridors of power.

Lalu Prasad, whose RJD received a drubbing at the hustings and was kept out of the government for not being part of the UPA coalition, sought to reach out to Rahul Gandhi by thrusting a 'rasgulla' in his mouth.

Prasad was interacting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi and CPM leader Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, after the swearing-in ceremony, when Rahul joined them and greeted the leaders.

This was opportunity enough for Prasad to force a 'rasgulla' into to the young Gandhi's mouth when he was asking sister Priyanka to come over to wish the RJD chief.
