Lalu hasn't increased rail fares. But, people are paying more. This is how... 1. If you don't book ticket from the starting point of travel, Rs. 10 is charged extra. 2. Tatkal quota is made 3 times the existing quota, so that it's impossible to get regular tkt. Hence, you have to shell out Rs150 more for sleeper and even more for higher classes 3. Just by reducing journey time of 15 hrs by 1/2 hr, the trains are called 'superfast', and the superfast surcharge has to be paid... 4. The cancellation charges are doubled. 5. Introuding the 3rd birth on the side, which is already cramped.
None of these measures are announced in the budget, not even announced publicly, but silently introduced. Lalu is a master politician, adept at hitting below the belt...

Yes you are correct.
The seating arrangement in broad gauge trains was 3 x 2 in a row and in meter gauge train was 2x2 (Chair car). now they have increased one seat in both cwtegories. It is very cramped.

yes this is true, if he were so intelligent then why would not have he changed the fortune of bihar during his 14yrs regime, so bhailogo it is ultimate kalyug, the result what we have seen in railway just coz of planning started by nitish the previous railway minister. lalu , mulayam and mayawati or mamta banerjee is desh ko bhi bech khayenge or dakar bi na niklgi
Sir, We hope that a Direct train between Hyd/Sec'bad to Ajmer will be announced during the ensuing Railway Budget 2008 for the convenience of Pilgrims going to Ajmer from Hyderabad. We are going to get one of the best International Airport " Rajiv Gandhi International Airport" to be inaugurated by Smt.Sonia Gandhiji, Hon'ble Chairperson, UPA. But there is no direct train to Ajmer Shareef to Visit the Famous Darga of Hzt.Khaja Moinuddin Chisthi Raht.We hope that our beloved Hon'ble Minister for Railways will announce a train to Ajmer from Hyderabad/Secunderabad.

Mr Fasih
More that train to Ajmer we need MMTS-Phase - II immediately. Our MPs of Hyderabad did not even attend the meet that took place with railways in 1st week of Feb,08. Even the congress govt is not insisting on that. They are least bothered about railways. Already MMTS trains are full in the day. I travel by MMTS everyday. This is the interest these congres MPs have on Andhra Pradesh. God save AP from these bastard MPs.

Very happy to see the clear thinking of most of people in this forum ...The journalists are really stupid or they want to make sensation to earn their bread?
If Lallu can make railway in the front seat with in 3 years, why can't he applied the same tactics to improve BIHAR?, INSPITE of his rule over there more than 10 years.

for that u have to learn economics. changing railways is different . but changing the economic cycle of a state is entierly diffrent . it takes time and true effort from all side. do u know development cycle just study it and u will get to know the exact reason for it.
What Railway has witnessed in terms of profit and greatn rennaissance has been not due to lalu yadav. In fact he entred the story in the mid when every new strategy was already implemented by his predecessor Nitish Kumar, now CM of Bihar. Most of the decision were taken by him. Also credit Mr. Sunil Kumar from Bihar cadre of IAS officers who is the brain behind this all. It is just shame on journalism that repeatedly this man lalu is able to even thug well educated journalists not only in India but in places liek Harvard and IIM, while the deserving person for all thsi credit is Nitish Kumar, who gets no mention anywhere!

Only a few common sensical people like you know this fact Murli. The whole thing reflects how churlish, corrupt our media is. Lalu is a fraud. Repulsive fraud!!!
Come on and wake up. Lalu has done nothing and he is not brought Railway into profit making. All are pre-calculated game played by Lalu. The fact is that Rail ministry, 33% of the total money has to be used for modernisation of the coach and safety, for which Lalu is keeping only 12% for the same and remaining 21% he is putting into the Profit book. Shame on Lalu Please wake up common people.

Oh come on! You are being guided by the feeling that Lalu cannot do anything. Even if you say that it has been done by compromissng safety the could you please explain the causes of so many accidents that took place before lalu came in and 33 % of money was being spend on safety. please understand that runing a company and commenting on it while sitting outside are two different things. Learn to appreciate good work.

also..the railways...was never loss making..it ws only fo rthe outer world that Indian Railways was made to look like a loss making organisation...the only good thing that has happened after lalu coming in is that accounts are being audited, cleared and presented it a proper manner thereby reflecting profit...

ther is a case pending against the railway ministry for spending crores of rupees on behest of laloo yadav for inviting foreign and IIM students to do a case study. . IIM a'bad was paid 45 lakhs according to the RTI Act. . why did he not turn around Bihar. ITs only the manipulation of data by our secular media
Simple question - If he could change railways in few years why could he not do anything to bihar where he was CM for more than 15 years!!
A classic example of politicins taking credit of somebody else's hard work!! Real credit goes to the officers who have prepared the pages which this guy signs. I wonder if he ever understood what is written there!!

Those officers are also working in railway since years but why they were not able to get profit.
We have to see the history of that place, Mostly you get grains and other agri product from that belt of Punjab, UP, Bihar. So the people were mostly engaged in Agriculture they were late to start formal education. No other state can produce all the agri product. Few states have that power. Wheat the staple food, is produced in the north Indian belt.

That 'exactly'was for Raghu
And Mr. Vinod Whenever ministrs changed, officers also changed and this time an officer named Sudhir Kumar from Bihar cadre joined the railway ministry and all these changing has been done by this person only.
