Vanishing non-AC coaches | Railways organised loot gets bigger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBMhVmPNIjo May 30, 2023
Railway has been systematically reducing sleeper coaches for some time. Now they have officially announced that except for local slow trains there will be only AC coaches. In a country where the opinion makers and opinion builders demand more super fast trains with more facilities the plight of common man goes un noticed. They refuse to believe that there are millions whose life gets affected by a hike of 10 or 20 rupees for essential services.

Crude prices were below USD 60 between 2014 and 2021, peaked when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but has since fallen to USD 75. Yet the Government has not passed on the benefit of lower crude prices to the people consuming petrol and diesel

It is obvious that the government is 'profiteering' through higher taxes and cesses at the cost of the people. One of the reasons why inflation is high is because of artificially-kept high prices of petrol and diesel

Somalia’s rejected old parliament is New India’s inspiration!!
Modi’s pet architect from Gujarat — who always gets Modi’s mega contracts through “competitive bidding” 🤣 (in Ahmedabad, Varanasi, Delhi’s Parliament+Central Vista) charged us ₹230 crores to copy Somalia’s design!!
