Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has targeted the central government over the increasing crowd in trains. He has shared a video on social media platform X and said that the central government is reducing general coaches from trains and promoting only elite trains. Because of this the common man is forced to travel hiding in the toilet. This video was recorded by a boy. The video shows the condition of the general compartment of Kerala Express, which is completely filled with people. Apart from the seats, there are people sitting everywhere on the floor also. There are many people sitting and lying near the toilet also. A young man’s feet are also inside the toilet door and he is sleeping.
While sharing this video, Rahul wrote that train travel has become a punishment. The government is promoting elite trains by removing general coaches. Every class is troubled by this. Even those taking confirmed tickets are not able to sit peacefully on their seats. The common man is forced to travel hiding on the ground and in toilets.
Huge crowd in the platform also
In this video, the view of the platform is also shown, where a large number of people are standing and waiting for the train. The sight of crowd in train or railway station is not new. On several occasions in India, people have been seen traveling on top of coaches or even between two coaches. Many major accidents have happened due to such carelessness. Often the crowd in the train increases during festival times. Many trains have been canceled due to farmers’ agitation in Punjab and Haryana. Due to this also, there is a lot of crowd in the stations and trains.
