The budget is expected to be a populist one as the passenger fares may remain untouched in this railway budget but we may expect a slight and selective increase in the freight rates. Foodgrains or the items pertaining to food inflation (whether directly/indirectly) may not see an increase in the freight rates because even a slight increase in these fares would strongly impact the inflation which has been a top concern for the Centre. Also the Railway Budget would focus more on to getting more traffic.
Well let anyone say anything but the final words would only come from Indian Railway minister, Kumari Mamta Banerjee's Railway Budget which is to be presented today 24th February, 2010. This is the second railway budget from Mamta Banerjee.
