** Railways is a very important & sensitive ministry which have very high political, economical & commercial implications.
** PM has great affection with IR and is determined to make it efficient and world-class. His choice of Rly Ministers from 2014-2021 is a clear indication, that his expectations from RM are sky-high. Setting aside politics, he has given the best possible minister to Ministry of Railways.

In past, politically sensitive Rly Ministry has handpicked by the hardcore politicians like Ms. Mamta Banerjee, Mr. Paswan, Mr. Lalu Yadav to reap political benefits leading to deterioration of financial condition of IR.
What we see today is completely a new trend where the chosen RM has almost no political ambitions
Can IR have a better qualified and experienced Rly Minister ??
