new Delhi. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that there is no talk of privatization of Indian Railways and the government is not going to privatize railways.
Responding to the discussion on the Demands for Grants under the control of the Ministry of Railways for 2022-23 under the Union Budget, the Union Railway Minister, while answering the questions raised by the opposition parties, said that the railway station belongs to the government, the railway tracks belong to the government. The signaling system belongs to the government, the train coaches belong to the government, so where does the question of privatization of railways arise.
Referring to the statement of former Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, he said that he has already made it clear that the railways will not be privatized.
Significantly, under the Union Budget, the discussion on the Demands for Grants under the control of the Ministry of Railways for 2022-23 was started by Congress MP K Suresh on Tuesday. After this, many MPs from opposition parties including Trinamool Congress, YSR Congress and DMK put the Railways in the dock.
Responding to the attack, the Railway Minister hit back at the Congress and Trinamool Congress MPs. Responding to the allegation of propaganda by Congress, Ashwini Vaishnav attacked Rahul Gandhi without naming him and said that the problem is not his, but his party’s because their leaders do not know when and where they go. There was a heated debate in the Lok Sabha between the leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and the Railway Minister, regarding the operating ratio of the Indian Railways. There was also a heated argument between Trinamool Congress leader Sudip Bandopadhyay and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav. During this, there was also a ruckus in the Lok Sabha.
After discussion, the demands for grants under the Union Budget for 2022-23 under the control of the Ministry of Railways were passed by voice vote.
