Arvind Raj Swarup , Assistant Secretary of  CPI  (Uttar Pradesh) is shocked at the surge pricing policy introduced recently by the Indian Railways under the Modi government. In an interview with Rukmini Sen of Hillele.org,  Arvind Raj Swarup said surge pricing in Indian Railways is an anti poor and anti middle class move

Railways is public transport. It is not meant to be a commercial venture as the present government is trying to tell people. Railways needs to be affordable for the people who travel by train- said Arvind Raj Swarup.

The decision will force passengers to pay at least 50% more than the basic tickets rates.

 

The Hangzhu Summit: Why G20 Needs a Complete Reset

0

In HangZhu, G20 missed a real opportunity to be relevant.

Interview with Rajat Nag

G20 nations represent about 85% of the global GDP and two thirds of the world's population. G20 summits would be more meaningful if the leaders focus on a few issues and make a concerted attempt to solve them. Instead, as it happened this time in Hangzhou also, a large number of issues are discussed and then remain as mere platitudes. Rajat Nag suggests that given the people and the portion of the global GDP they represent, G20 summits are important, But they need an institutional structure of some kind to give the summits continuity and a narrower focus. They should try and focus on what they can effectively achieve: specifically issues of the global economy, growing inequality, etc.
