Prime Minister says he "showed courage" to scrap the Rail Budget as he "remained free from the love for political gains". Noting that the current century is technology-driven, Mr. Modi pitched for innovation to make the railways strong. I showed courage,” Mr. Modi said, while asserting that he has “no political agenda” to pursue through the railways. Seeking to give a personal touch, Mr. Modi said, “My relation with the railways is old. “As the Prime Minister, I can stay somewhere else but I prefer the Railway Guest House as it gives a feel of belonging.”
