"Railways should spend on safety, better infrastructure and better facilities. Not on bullet train," he posted.

In a series of tweets a day after a deadly stampede in a railway foot overbridge in Mumbai killed over 20 people, Chidambaram tweeted: "Bullet train will be like demonetisation. It will kill everything else including safety."
