Indian railways won\\\'t be privatised

In his constituency of Varanasi Thursday, Prime Minister of India Norendra Modi said there is no question about the railways being privatised. "Those who are spreading lies that railways is being privatised...this is not our thought or intention," he said. The PM said the railways have been an essential part of his life. In his campaign for the national election, he had underscored that as a child, he sold tea at train stations to help support his family. Today, he was speaking at a factory in Varanasi that produces diesel-electric locomotives and its spare parts. "We don't see railways only as a means to travel. We see it as the backbone of India's development," said the PM.
