Rail budget
by Manali Thomas on Feb 25, 2008 01:23 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Lalu's budget being presented in Lok Sabha is his last budget presentation in LS. What people don't know is the profit is by increasing the usable capacity of freight corridors. This corridor and facilities ar being overused, which is baad for the railings and wagons in the years to come. The optimum capacity is being utilised. Our railway lines and wagons will become useless within next 6 years, where as their life was more than 11 years when it was used meticulously. Lalu is milching the railway as the way he used fodder from the fodder scam.His father in law and his servant's distant relative travels freely in AC compartment, when we stand in queue and get 2nd class ticket on waiting list.

Hello,

I am not trying ti justify mr LALU .... but for your kind information there are more than 1.6 Million employees in Indian Railway who got free pass to traven in rails...and around 70% of these got first class pass.... so its not totally correct to blame lalu only

They are employees and their relatives. They atleast work one or two hours for Railways and contribute something to the working of the system. What was Lalu's father-in-laws contribution to Railways which enabled him to be first class AC compartment when he was caught???
