Thank you @sureshpprabhu for super #RailBudget2016. Proven that "declared projects are to be done" and only "doable projects are declared."

However, there are some who didn't like Railway Budget too much. Here are those tweets:

Which are these new trains that have been introduced? They have only given their unique names & not d source & destination. #RailBudget2016

— Rohit Pandey (@mniROHIT) February 25, 2016

#DDDTM Worst railway budget of all time. Totally disappointed.

AntyodayaExp. all general coach 'new' train is copy of 'JanSadharan Exp' already plying on many routes. #OldWineInNewBottle #RailBudget2016

No mention of progress of gatimaan express
Has @RailMinIndia isolated it???? @sureshpprabhu #RailBudget2016

— shaksham shubham (@shakshamshubham) February 25, 2016

#RailBudget2016 doesn't support FOE, for @sureshpprabhu has not declared trains by name,
1. Bharat Ki Barbadi Tak.
2. Kashmir Ki Azadi Tak.
