Have to agree my friend.
China spends 9 times more each year on its railways than India.
Hard to believe India would surpass China in railways.
Be frank here, how many kilometer railway are in plan before 2020 ? Does Modi have a serious plan and money in hand to do it ?
As far as I know, China will have at least 120,000 km railway by 2020, it is more likely to come earlier since many project are being brought forward. For instance, China in the beginning of this year, 2014, 44 new projects are being planned, but now, in fact, 64 new projects are started with money insured. The bullet train, so called High Speed Railway(HSR) will reach 16,000 kilometers long, linking most of the Chinese provincial capitals within 8 hours travel.
So, what is India's plan ? It will be well appreciated if some trusted reference could be provided.
