The Indian railway system and its amenities frequently come under scrutiny, with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw often facing criticism regarding these. In a surprising turn of events, Saurabh Bharadwaj, a prominent leader from the Aam Aadmi Party and a former minister, has commended both the railways and the Railway Minister. This marks a departure from the norm, as the AAP usually critiques the central government.
Bharadwaj took to his social media handle, X, to share a video acknowledging the improvements in railway services. He specifically praised Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for these enhancements. In the video, recorded at the New Delhi Railway Station, Bharadwaj noted that while the railway department has faced its share of incidents, he wanted to acknowledge something positive.
After using the platforms, toilets, and waiting rooms at New Delhi Railway Station, Bharadwaj expressed his satisfaction, stating that the washrooms were clean and well-maintained, exceeding his expectations. He also highlighted the presence of staff dedicated to ongoing cleaning. These observations led to his positive comments about Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has been the target of numerous criticisms, particularly from the opposition, following various train accidents. From the New Delhi Railway Station stampede to the Balasore incident, the Railway Minister has faced scrutiny. These incidents have frequently sparked heated debates between the opposition and the Railway Minister in the Parliament.
