However, Twitterati did not take well to this decision as they claimed that the coaches had been exclusively emptied for their travel, and asked them to board local trains during peak time, when several people risk their lives to get home.

Another user pointed out the fact that Goyal was standing on the footboard of the train which is infact a punishable offence.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and BJP working president JP Nadda travelled in Mumbai's local trains in the first-class compartment to 'save time' and escape the traffic during their commute. They were in Mumbai to rally for BJP before the upcoming Maharashtra elections.
Goyal boarded the local from Bhayander to Grant Road while the BJP leader took a train from Vithalwadi to Kurla.

Several people also complained that trains do not run on time, and urged the railway minister to take appropriate action for the same.
No sir, central railway is running with. Average delay of 15-20 kin daily, there no plan to maintain punctuality and reduce rush.

Sir Central Rly has a third class local train service in kalyan to Karjat/ kasara region. Every day crowded local trains are late by 30 min to 1 hr. No one values our time and money. It's high time that all local train commuters must press NOTA button as no Govt has cares for us.
