The height of naivete
After the petroleum prices in India
dhire se’. True that fares had not
been increased by the earlier Ministers for the last 9 years, and there was a genuine
need for increasing that, the hike could well have been spread over a span of 2-3
years. Why it didn’t strike them is a little surprising.
And I think nobody wanted a low profile sincere minister like Mr.Trivedi to be the martyr to the cause. Was PM not aware of the fit the mercurial lady will
have by this once-and-for-all attempted hike to deliver
railways of all the trouble it is in? And when passenger fares constitute
only a small percentage of the railway
revenues.
Life goes on and this will also be soon forgotten. Long live
Indian democracy.
