Lalu tries his hands as a 'shutterbug'

New Delhi, Jan 4: If you thought Lalu Prasad would be resting on his laurels as the ''Uncrowned CEO'' of Indian Railways and as the ''Management Guru'' lecturing the students of Harvard and Wharton, you have all got it wrong.

The Railway Minister today decided to try his luck as a ''lensman'', and that too in the company of Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Planning Commission Deputy Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia.

It all happened at Rail Bhavan at the signing ceremony of the 'historic' concession agreement between the Railways and container train operators.

After the signing ceremony was over, the media-savvy Mr Prasad suddently asked for a digital camera from a photographer, and began taking shots of mediapersons, much to their delight, while Mr Chidambaram and Dr Ahluwalia watched the proceedings in amusement.

After taking a few shots, Mr Prasad looked at the snaps and appeared satisfied.

For the members of the electronic media, who have been too happy capturing Mr Prasad in frame, it was now the turn to get themselves photographed by the RJD powerhouse.

Someone was heard saying it was ''Lalu's turn to carry out a sting operation against mediapersons.''
