Railways report suggests Lalu scams
The white paper on railways, presented in the Lok Sabha on Friday, suggests scams during Lalu regime. It seems Mamata was asked by Congress to keep quiet about it, to protect the Congress Party.
The report also said excessive money was charged for schemes such as ‘tatkal’, putting common people to hardship even as punctuality took a beating during the period.
IMO: I suppose it is all more or less as many people thought. I usually go long distance by bus now anyway. It is claimed that all train seats are taken and yet when I have been able somehow to get a seat, there have been a lot of spaces all the way.
