Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda would have endeared himself to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with his announcement of a special train in the Rail budget dedicated to Swami Vivekananda. The minister stated that this train was intended to "inculcate good moral values and propagate the teachings of Swami Vivekananda". However, this comment elicited several tongue-in-cheek reactions on social media. The Twitterati was abuzz with comments like "#RailBudget mentions a special Swamy Vivekananda train to 'inculcate good moral values'. How d'you do that on a train?" Another said,"Ooh, we're getting a Swami Vivekananda 'Moral Values' Train," another described the new proposal as "Vivekananda Moral Express"!
