Instead of train's speed, PM Modi has increased speed of surging fares: Rahul Gandhi

08 Sep 2016 Evaluate

After the government announced a surge pricing on tickets for high-speed trains, the Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said that it is PM Modi's policy to provide benefits to rich industrialist by looting the common people. Gandhi tweeted that the speed of train might not increase, but PM Modi has increased the speed of surging fares. Modi's model is to steal from the public and gift it to some industrial friends.

Echoing similar sentiments, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that the hiking the fares indicates that the PM is least concerned about the common people. He said that like Ola and Uber, PM Modi has imposed his surged price policy on Duronto, Rajdhani and Shatabi also. By surging the fare of trains by 50%, in the midst of the festive season and with the rising inflation, PM Modi has proved that he is not concerned about the public. After coming in power, in past 25 months, the fares has been raised to 20% and has raised the freight price twice.

The Ministry of Railway had said that surge pricing will be introduced for train tickets with prices rising 10 per cent for every 10 per cent of tickets berths sold. This revision of pricing will be made on Rajdhani, Duronto and Shatabdi trains from September 9. Delhi's CM Arvind Kejriwal also opposed the surged pricing in Railways and demanded its roll back.
