Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that the BJP-led Centre wants to prove railways 'incompetent' so that it has an excuse to sell it off to its 'friends', and urged people to remove the Modi government to save the common person's transport.
Gandhi shared a video on X showing people travelling by sitting in toilets and on the floor of a train, to attack the government.
In a post on X, Gandhi said, 'Rail journey' has become a punishment under Narendra Modi's rule! Passengers of every category are being harassed by the Modi government which is promoting only 'elite trains' by reducing general coaches from common persons' trains.
