RJD shared an image and attacked the Centre alleging deteriorating condition of railways

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday came down heavily at the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre over alleged deteriorating conditions of Indian Railways saying the government has destroyed the well-running fleet of trains. He also said that the condition of air conditioned and sleeper coaches were even worse than the general coaches. Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal also targeted the Centre over the condition of railway coaches calling them “torture centres”. 

“They destroyed the fleet of the well-running railways. Today, even if you take an AC coach, you will not get a seat to sit or sleep. AC and sleeper coaches are worse than general.” 

“They do not know how to run the government. They don't understand at all. Illiterate government. ruining every field,” he said. 

अच्छी ख़ासी चलती हुई रेलवे का इन्होंने बेड़ा गर्क कर दिया। आज AC कोच का भी अगर आप रिजर्वेशन लेंगे तो आपको बैठने या सोने के लिये सीट नहीं मिलेगी। AC और स्लीपर कोच जनरल से ज़्यादा बदतर हो गये हैं

इन्हें सरकार चलानी ही नहीं आती। इन्हें समझ ही नहीं है। अनपढ़ सरकार है। हर क्षेत्र को…

In another tweet, Kejriwal made a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying, “The one who does not run the train, how will he run the country?”

Meanwhile, sharing images of overcrowded train coaches, RJD called it “torture centres” 

“Rail coaches have been turned into 'torture centers' for the common man!” the party said. 

रेल के डिब्बों को आम आदमी के लिए 'यातना केंद्र' बना दिया गया है!

AC, स्लीपर या जेनरल.. सभी की एक जैसी स्थिति है। लोग रिज़र्वेशन होने के बावजूद बैठकर यात्रा करने को मजबूर हैं।

सब जानते हुए भी सरकार अतिरिक्त ट्रेनों या डिब्बों की व्यवस्था नहीं कर रही है। pic.twitter.com/wkP3aIKTBG

“AC, Sleeper or General.. all have the same condition. People are forced to sit and travel despite having reservations,” it added, alleging the government that it was doing nothing to improve the situation despite knowing everything. 

Hitting back at the AAP supremo, Delhi BJP said, “Rightly said Kejriwal, you do not know how to run the government. You just know how to lie, cheat, propagate and make allegations, otherwise Delhi would not have been in such a bad condition,” as per a Hindustan Times report. 

Recently the Centre and railways minister Ashwini Vaishaw faced the music after over 280 people were killed in a triple train crash in Odisha’s Balasore district.
