Recently, railway ended the 10% current ticket discounts in Indian Railways, before that Senior Citizen quota was abolished too.

But yes, the Indian government has enough tax payers money to waste on dances like this on Vande Bharata's inagurations -

A mix of marketing and politics both !
Politics : Party agenda to show development.
Selling premium dreams to those who can’t afford.
A show and tell , which has potential to cover all the districts of the country.
Marketing

: people of whole world get to know about the service , it’s benefit when PM talks about it .
It becomes instant news , people get aspiration to travel.
PM and other leader do the endorsements , PM is one of the biggest brand on the planet .

PS : The politics will be attached to till IR becomes 100% privatised . We have seen this earlier , we have witnessed many unwanted rail lines , halts , train services used as a political tool :)
I am not a bhakt , but I don’t mind them doing these stunts as it is solving many purposes

Sir
one time, two times, three times. The publicity is enough.

VBs like the Bilaspur one would never go hit even if Prime Minister did belly dance on the inaguration day.

Whereas VBs like Kerala etc would go hit without much of the dance and programs.

It's tax payers hard earned money which should be given to people indirectly in other forms not over dances and PR stunts.
