Lalu's budget is as usual with only promises. Anybody can remember what he had promised for mumbai. He today told that the four lines are ready as promised. Does Lalu expect the commuters to run on the four tracks? 157 local trains were promised for these track in last budget of which only 3 trains arrived! Those who want promises may be pleased. The facts that 1) Laalu promised last year the cushion seats in local trains which are not arrived till this budget and 2)5% reduction for common passenger and 7 % for AC-2 tier only show neither he knows how the passengers travel in local trains. Mumbaikars wont mind the existing fares, nor they areinterested in cushion-like airy things. The nunber of trains, frequency, basic sanitory facility on stations etc are the key issues for commuters. Many stations like Andheri have Naigara rain water-falls on the platforms and staircases. But Lalu thinks of Cushion. Amravati--Mumbai train was not necassry nor was there any demand. But Lalu did not waste the chance to woo our Honble Prez. The elections are round the conrner and Lalu has showered the promises which need not materialise as was seen last years budget. I wonder how people find managerial skills in him. If at had he anything, it would have surfaced in His Bihar and wud never have lost elections. In Marathi it is said "Bolachich Kadhi, Bolachach Bhaat" words are curry words are rice and we have to quench our stomoch by that.
