Fantastic! Definitely, for the first time the Railway officials and the political leadership have both done their home works properly and with some remarkable vision! No doubt, if they work to make it all happen as planned, it will be a great achievement. Politically motivated opposition voices need not be taken seriously.Er.

But it is also worth remembering that Kerala had a number of powerful ministers in the erstwhile union government sitting in their respective positions for a decade. And Kerala also had a Congress led state government during most of this period. It was indeed a very ideal situation for Kerala to gain some thing including railway facilities. But nothing that got in to the minds of the people as something noteworthy happened during those ideal times. So what is the point in making a noise now when Kerala is out of synchronization with the union government?Er. Rajan C Mathew FIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271941784093385135noreply@blogger.com
