The Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu assures that there is no proposal to privatise Railways. He continues in the same breath that public investment in Railways is necessary.

The meaning is clear. All of a sudden, Railways will not be privatised. But starting with public investment, the process will start for privatisation.

The policy of the government is well known. It is privatisation. That is why the Railway Federations( AIRF)etc. are  preparing for serious struggle.
