"The rail budget lays out a clear roadmap to make the Railways the key driver of India's economic growth and playing a key role in India's progress," the prime minister tweeted this afternoon.
Prabhu, who announced a slew of measures including e-catering and enhanced security, was made Railway Minister a little over three months ago.
