I recall even before VB's existence there was a demand of BGP HWH morning departure train not because to satisfy some MP's ego but for demand of actual passenger , I acknowledge that Nishikant_dubey is doing thing for his constituency but these are just to show off and not in practical sense. Hope the 15 20 passengers who will be Deboarding in the halts of dubey ji will spend enough to have his constituency developed like kolkata and bhagalpur munger
