Narendra Modi's plan to modernise Indian Railways: #RailBudget Speech by Sadananda Gowda

On 8 July 2014, Narendra Modi government presented its first budget. At the maiden Budget speech, which many termed as the first litmus test for the Modi government, Sadananda Gowda came across as someone who is ready to embark on a much-needed overhaul of the Indian Railways towards modernity. And the biggest proof of this is the sense that he is finally ready to see the Railways as not just an infrastructure issue but also a service industry. 

Here is text of the speech delivered by Railways Minister Sadananda Gowde in Lok Sabha.
