After the government announced a surge pricing on tickets for high-speed trains, the Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that it is PM Modi's policy to provide benefits to rich industrialist by looting the common people. "The speed of train might not increase, but PM Modi has increased the speed of surging fares. Modi's model is to steal from the public and gift it to some industrial friends," Gandhi tweeted. The Ministry of Railway on Wednesday said that surge pricing will be introduced for train tickets with prices rising 10% for every 10% of tickets berths sold. Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also opposed the surged pricing in Railways and demanded its roll back.
