Dinesh Trivedi's maiden railway budget of 2012-13 gave a red signal to his own party people. He is representing Trinomool Congress. The TMC Supremo, Mamata Banerjee (Chief Minister of West Bengal), is opposing the railway budget. On the other hand, party is not decided what to be done with Trivedi.
But the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh has no questions about this. The TMC party is questioning against the step of increasing train fares. From the last 10 years, no railway minister took the initiative to increase the train fares. Each minister was thinking about the trains from their states, and didn't made any strategy to bring profit for railways.
After 10 years, Trivedi tried to increase the train fares, his party is not supporting him. Mamata Banerjee is saying that its a wrong step. Currently railways is running through huge loss. After 6-7 years, whosoever will retire form Indian Railways won't be able to get their pension, and other money from the railway ministry. So is it a bad step to think about the profit and the future of Railways.
Now if we will see the other side of the coin, then the hiked prices of train fares will create problems for the middle class and the lower-middle class people who generally travels by train to any of the part of the country. What they will do if the fares are increasing? Should they leave railways as their means of transport? But till date the government is helpless in stopping the debauchery of tickets. In the upcoming time, Indian Railways also going to introduce the ticket booking system. Now people have to book train tickets four months before their trip to any place.
Its a no profit no loss rail budget. Right now Dinesh Trivedi must be excited that he presented his maiden rail budget which create hulla baloo in the nation.

The rail budget doesn't create any hulla baloo in the nation this just went against mamata ji who know if this budjet get passed she has no reason to force congress to do what they want to do for the country.....
ReplyDeleteAs our rail minister told rail need money to make our rail system advance in certain manner but those people don't even want to make ant difference with other country to make our rail system better.....he also stated that indian railways are 50 years behind China but no body bothered to listen to those comments they just want to prove there point....no reason to believe on those shit what going on in indian politics............
@Vivek....you are very true....but still don't you think that the rail budget created a hulla baloo in the political arena of the nation.....otherwise still there is a matter of question should Dinesh Trivedi resign from this post or not????
