Exclusive: Railway for sale by BJP led NDA Govt

The present BJP led NDA govt had experienced a path breaking victory in the last parliamentary election in 2019 .Most of people believe that the cause of this victory is due to the charismatic personality of PM Narendra Modi .Though the BJP led govt came to power for the second consecutive term with tall promises,but in reality,it has failed to fulfill the hope of common people.

At the same time,the opposition alleges most of the time that Modi government has done everything for the welfare and benefit of a few industrialist and business tycoon of the country.But the BJP always pronounces the slogan of all round development.

The inefficiency and corrupt practices of many government enterprises and offices derailed and affected the country’s economy very badly.This is the main reasons of NDA’s failure to run most of its govt run departments.

BJP came to power with a promise ‘Sobka sath sobka bikash’.But did PM Modi does everything for the development of all which was his slogan ‘sabka biswas’?
No,a recent notice of railway board has proved it clearly that
the present government failed to manage and control each and every sector .From Power to telecom,from Railways to Roads ,from Airports to Stadium all are sold to private sector or most of these are in PPP mood.

Under national monetization pipeline, 400 stations will be sold to PPP model.The Indian Ministry of Railways issued a model concession agreement for the development of railway platform on a DBFOT model.This model agreement is between the president of India represented by the MoR and a private company.According to the report there is provision to sale total 40 stations in the financial year 2021-22 ,120 stations in 2022-23, 120 stations in 2023-24,120 stations in 2024-25 respectively.
Separately,there is a plan to sale 90 trains to private parties .30 trains will be sold in the year 2023,another 30 trains will be sold in 2024 and remaining another 30 trains in the respective year i.e.2025.
Meanwhile,Railway is also outsourcing various activities termed as Non core in phased manner which includes corporatiation of Railway Production units and workshops.

Railway board is also planning to remove some posts which have been vacated from non safety category.Already the railway board through a letter dated 21st May,2022 instructed all General Managers of all the stations to identify the vacant post of non safety section and surrender the same.
Surprisingly,this order has come at a time when the economy of the country is in highly pathetic condition and rupee value is deteriorting significantly against the value of dollar.
Meanwhile,IMF has warned that colliding pressure from inflation, result of Russia-Ukraine war ,food crises might cause recession in the year 2023.
