In a country of Billion people, where the Major transport system is completly monoploized by one party, what is so big inmaking profit?

In UK competing with Virgin Railways, UK Rail corporation has been making profit for many years.

Indian Railaways is a Cash Cow which hass been impoverished by Politicians and Babus for long.

Now Lau understands that, unless they put their acts together, Indian railways will make a sine die as many PSU's .

True it might be made by IAS but where were they for past 60 years? If we blame him for fodder scam as kingpin, we should also accept this as a great effort. Stop being hypocritical about the person and love the good work.

I think railway making profit is merely an eyewash . It is purely a figure puzzle by which Indians are being fooled. What was the performance of Lalu as a chief minister of bihar. suddenly he has become a magician?

Nothing has change in railways. Travel by railway local trains and you will get the answer.
