“Nice To Meet Young People”: Railway Minister Seeks Feedback On Train

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishaw was seen taking feedback on a train during his four-day visit to Odisha as part of the BJP’s Jan Ashirwad Yatra.

Passengers on an overnight train from Bhubaneswar to Rayagada on Thursday were surprised when Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw went from one compartment to the other, seeking their feedback on rail services and hygiene.

The Railways portfolio and other responsibilities in the Union Cabinet expansion were entrusted to former IAS officer Ashwini Vaishnaw last month. He is currently on a four-day visit to Odisha as part of the BJP’s Jan Ashirwad Yatra. He boarded an overnight train from Bhubaneswar to Rayagada Thursday.

In one of the videos on social media, the minister can be seen speaking to a passenger in Odia. He asks the passenger where he works and then asks if the train is clean. The passenger responds that it is and the minister pats him on the shoulder before moving on to another passenger.

In another video, the minister is seen speaking to some more passengers. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave Odisha a Railway Minister for the first time,” he is heard telling the passengers. He then adds that the Prime Minister has a vision and he will get all basic work done.

The Railway Minister shared a video in a Twitter post, where he can be seen sitting and chatting with fellow passengers. “It was very nice to meet you, young people,” he tells them.
