Railway Budget 2015: Ministers Tweet disappointment; Public fine with revamp promise

Bengaluru, Feb 26: The Rail Budget 2015 indeed was pragmatic, given the fact that the country has not been able to maintain the existing infrastructure and trying to build up on a very shaky plinth, further creating problems for the common man.
