    This is the outcome of skill India! Everyone can't rob. After 2014, many are getting skilled to loot banks, people etc. Another skill being developed is 'Shoot India'! Those who question the government will be shot?

    It is unfortunate. Let police catch the thieves early . People should not make politics in every dirt. Let wisdom prevail.

    PM Modi government is busy making Privatization of India's largest public sector instead of 'Security' of the passengers.
    Instead of bullet trains, the government should consider permanent marshals like air travel.

    Piyush Goyal of the Bharatiya Janata Party is the current Minister of Railways, serving since 3 September 2017.
    Other than the misleading claims, his tendency of using fake, misleading, photoshopped pictures has become a trend despite being most qualified leader in the party.

    This was unheard of before 2014.

    Now people are so desperate because of economical distress that they do not find any other job and

    they also know that when changu and mangu at helm of affairs are the biggest thieves who have siphoned off public funds to their party, there is nothing wrong in stealing or abandoning.
