The Indian Railways frequently faces questions regarding its services and facilities. Often, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is criticized, especially by the opposition. However, in a departure from their usual stance, Saurabh Bharadwaj, a leader from the Aam Aadmi Party, has praised the railways and the Railway Minister.
Bharadwaj, the Delhi Pradesh president of the AAP, took to social media platform X to share a video. The video, filmed at New Delhi Railway Station, showed that he wanted to acknowledge the improvements. He praised the cleanliness of the platforms, toilets, and waiting rooms. He expressed satisfaction with the cleanliness of the washrooms and the presence of staff dedicated to maintaining them, which prompted his praise for Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Previously, the Railway Minister has faced criticism from the opposition following several train accidents, including incidents at New Delhi Railway Station and the Balasore accident. These incidents have frequently led to strong debates between the opposition and the Railway Minister.
