Is the Indian Railways a big scam?

January 27, 2009

Our newspapers have recently been filled with the fantastic, fabulous and marvelous news that the Indian Railways are actually making some profit. They said the new railway minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav is the matermind behind this. Last week when i went to the railway station to get a ticket to Coimbatore, where my uncle lived, I was amazed by the subsidised ticket charges! It was rs 155 (about $3.5)the previous month and now its just rs 98($2)!!
No sector in India, roadways, airways or waterways, has ever subsidised the ticket charges. I was impressed. May God bless Lalu Prasad Yadav.
But how? I’m sure that passengers have not increased at all. Then Lalu must have used magic. not likely, he’s from Bihar, the poverty striken state in our country.
The point is, that idi** cut off the funds for maintenance and used it for other purposes! There was one incident when one poor guy wanted to go for toilet, and the moment he entered the toilet, the iron floor simply went down. The train was running and the poor guy went down and his soul went up! Are we ready to risk our lives in exchange for a petty subsidise in the rates? NO! And Lalu Prasad Yadav must know, we are an educated people here, unlike the dump ass guys in Bihar who voted him in. So we want better treatment and floors that wont go down under our feet. Just imagine how it would be to see large holes in a moving train? Next time I go for Coimbatore, I’m going to take the bus. I dont know when the wheels of the train i’m in is going t simply break away.
So mr.Lalu, Be careful!!
