BJP leader Uma Bharti has written to the union railway minister after she almost missed her train at the Jhansi railway station. Bharti alleged that she had reached the station on time but was delayed due to infrastructure issues and the train departing early.
She further flagged "insensitivity in modernisation", saying she had previously faced a similar issue at the Mathura railway station. Bharti said that she had arrived on time for the train, asking for the CCTV cameras at the station to be checked.
No human mistakes were involved in her delay, adding that she was travelling in a battery operated cart. However, she said that three to four minutes of her time were wasted while waiting for a train to pass and due to a handcart stuck on the track.
Bharti urged for the modernisation of railways while keeping the "old systems vigilant." She said that common people face these regularly and "become victims of this disarray."
