Just think: The Vande Bharat order of 30,000 Crores to Alstom was cancelled over the difference of 500 crores.
Now calculate how many hundreds of crores have potentially been lost by having so many new rakes of VB sitting idle across the country for so many months.
If...
more... you won't launch all these rakes even by Independence day holiday when massive number of people will travel to their dear homes for the long weekend this year then what is even the point of your Great Green Flag waving ceremonies.
Such carelessness over public money and such apathy towards public needs shall make any railfan hopeless and sad.
