i can say lalluji is the only positive railway minister i have ever seen.he will fare better as finance minister also by bringing surplus budget acceptable to all,better than the so called stalwart mr.p.chidambaram
Almost 50-60% Indian people use GENERAL BOOGIES for rail traveling...what for them... almost400-500 trains should run on important routes carrying GENERAL BOOGIES with Security guards... Security and Rush is major concern in these boogies...Reduceing 1 Rs. is not a impressive deal..this reduction impresses more towards elections...
In Budget,u will also see that Bihar is only state which has lot of Electrified Rail lines,Superfast Trains with big capacity,lot of Loco sheds,lot of Loco Factories (laloo has started 6 factories in last 3 budgets)... Is India having a one state as BIHAR.... Lalooji also should have been think of other states and MUMBAI as well...
Increase of sleeper berths from 72 to 84 is not a good idea unless the railways are planning to increase the size of the bogies.Otherwise passengers will be packed like a 'can of sardines'. B.S.Dharmaraj.Chennai

not only size but also no.of boogies per trains and no.of trains on rushed routes should be increased.
It's a great budget for almost all the section of people.In other words it's an user freindly budget.Request to all the ministry,please--please--please,think like laluji-change the existing system as required honestly,bring best to us,then it will be blessing to INDIANS-mera Bharat
Dear Sir, As a majority of the common people are unable to spare more on reservation tickets and their life poor life style doesn't let them have preplanned travelling, Kindly, Instruct the unmindful railway staff to provide more coaches and good travelling time to the poor and needy people, who are vast majority of the nation. Thanking you

it's not only question of poor people,to travel by train.....but even middle class Indian is also facing a huge problem,since he has to book the ticket 4-5 months before date of journey...which is worst...
Dear Railway minister:-Your kind attention is drawn towards the railway line being constructed from Koderma (Jharkhand) to Giridih. The speed is slow and God knows when it will be completed. You are requested to please make it fast so that the comman person can take full advantage of this new rail line. Thanks
I did not see any mention of special services to enable senior citizens and physically handicapped persons to move about in railway stations and to board trains. I saw the mention of providing elevators in major stations. There should be alternate arrangements for physically handicapped persons, including very old persons, to move on their own in wheel chairs. The elevators should be dependable with uninturrupted power supply, and with strict preference for elderly and the handicapped. There should be graded slopes in place of steps for such persons in all railway staions. In fact it is high time that such facilities are made at all public places.

I do support Mr.Krishna Kumar's suggestion of special services for senior citizens
Respected Laluji...Nameste... You are doing lovely job and budget seems to be fine. But what about Braod Guage line to extend upto MHOW CANTT (MP) from Indore? We are hearing for the last many many years that railway ministry will look into the issue but how long.....???????? Any plan for future , Sir.
There is an undoubted advantage of a common man holding such position as of Laloo ji being the Railway Minister. The budget is prepared in such a way as if some people of budget commetee have been only traveling accross the country , through out the year to take the feedback.
I request lalooji to please bring Indore on track ,(Connect it with country , it will be another mini capital of the country.)
