Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has defended the Centre's decision to launch bullet train project in India, stating that it was part of the country's developmental plans. He was replying to a query yesterday on Quora, a website where users ask questions and invite answers from the online community - "Does India actually need a bullet train"? Goyal, who has an active presence on social media, gave a 884-word defence of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR), popularly known as the 'Bullet Train'. He also included several graphics with pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to illustrate his point.
