Ravi Krishnan you said, "..The main reason for the formation of the Indian Rail is to provide every citizen with a mode of travel that is dignified, reliable,safe, secure and above all comfortable..." I agree, we Indians ask for comfortable, secure, and reliable dignified trains but don't want to pay for it. It had been a problem for the past many years and railways was running on LOSS, atleast Lalu is doing better and for the first time it is making profit and yes the main reason that you are talking about is being looked upon too. WE can't talk about those main reasons you specified without money... And Lalu is just doing what others like Nitish in NDA could not do. Why not applause for the same? The budget is commendable.
