Now Nitish Kumar in IIM-A list


Bihar has always hit headlines in the media for one or another reason. And, so its leaders. Now Laloo Prasad Yadav and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are in news for their visits to India,s best B school, Indian Institute of Management of Ahmedabad.
Laloo has to deliver a lecture on the turn around of Indian Railways. The topic suits his present assignment as union railways minister. But the way Laloo has created media hype shows his uncanny skills of image building. He has aroused great interest among people of Ahmedabad about his lecture.
One can find people talking about his lecture in IIM. People want to know if outsiders will be allowed to listen one of the biggest crowd puller politician talking to students and faculty of elite business school.
Keeping the spirit of his political rival, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is also in the news for the same reason. He will also be addressing management crowd even at a bigger scale than Laloo. Not just IIM-A students, over 1,000 international students of 20 top business schools from Europe, the US and Far East will listen to the lecture.
IIM has sent an invitation to Kumar to address participants of a three-day programme — Participants of Confluence 2006 — to be held in November, confirmed IIM director Bakul Dholakia.
