The Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Rs.1.10 lakhs crores worth Bullet Train project is being criticized by the political analysts and opposition parties from every nook and corner. Elphinstone Road Station stampede tragedy in Mumbai emanated extensive discussion on Bullet Train project. 

Former Financial minister P Chidambaram took a dig at the union government for failing in providing basic infrastructure in Mumbai suburban stations. Besides, he alleged that Bullet Train will keep killing the people. According to him, the funds allocated for Bullet Train can be used to improve basic infrastructure in railway stations and for the safety in railways.
