A Populist Exercise |
|
 Predictably, the vote-on-account statement of Rail Budget for 2009-10, presented to Parliament on February 13 by the Union Railway Minister Mr. Lalu Prasad, did not
contain any surprises. Yet the Minister used the opportunity, particularly on the eve of General Elections with the tenure of the UPA government drawing to a close, to present a bag of goodies to all types of rail passengers and sparing the rail users by industry from any freight hike. Before a detailed analysis of the implications of the measures proposed in the estimated receipts and expenditure for the next fiscal for the Indian Railways is attempted, it is essential to highlight the gist of the various policy measures set out in the statement of the Railway Minister. Following are the nub of the proposals:
Reduction in Tariffs
Reduction in passenger fares of ordinary passenger trains by one rupee for fares costing up to Rs 50 per passenger for journey above 10 kms.
Second class and sleeper class fares of all Mail/Express and ordinary passenger trains to be cut by two per cent for tickets costing Rs 50 and more per passenger. |
