PM praises railway budget, Rahul Gandhi criticises

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda’s maiden budget.

“The railway budget presented in Parliament on Tuesday lays stress on transparency and integrity,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.

“Rail budget is a growth engine. This budget will prove that. We neglected it in the past,” he said.

“Aimed at overall development of India. It is a modern budget. Focussed on science and technology,” Modi said.

“This Budget shows where we want to take the railways and at the same time where we want to take India through the railways,” said the PM.

“Initiatives taken will help Indian economy in a big way,” Modi said, adding, “This budget will make train journey a happy experience,” he assured.

As expected Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi criticised the Rail Budget by saying it lacks vision.

Calling it a “disappointing” budget, Rahul Gandhi said Gowda will not fulfill the promises he made today.
