Congress must seriously think of starting coaching classes of Public Speaking for it's leaders...
Without going into details about today's Railway Budget presented in the Parliament, if you simply listen to Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and MoS Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's interviews, you are forced to believe that everyone else who are opposing the budget are very much correct. The tone, body language and selection of words by these leaders literally make you feel pity for them.
Now coming to this year's Railway Budget, as a aam admi we did not actually expect much from our Minister. May be because we were taught not to from the very beginning of our own establishment of Democracy. May be because we know our Political Class and Sarkari Kaam-Kaaj so well that no matter what, chances of any improvement is almost nil.
Safety, Cleanliness and Punctuality are the main concerns of every common man and if these could be ensured no body would mind to pay a little more for the fares. However, this year's budget have actually spared passengers from any hike in fares and raised other charges on tickets along with freight tariff of less than 5%. There are as usual announcement of new trains, tracks and facilities along with promises of new online ticketing system and safety measures.
Overall, nothing new, no solid steps for future growth and no vision at all...
