India: Rajya Sabha MP and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy slammed the Modi government for charging migrant workers for railway tickets and said that the funds could have come from PM CARES.
Taking to Twitter, Subramanian Swamy wrote: “How moronic of the Government of India to charge steep rail fares from the half-starved migrant labourers! Indians stranded abroad were brought back free by Air India. If Railways refuse to budge then why not make PM CARES pay instead?”
His remarks came amid the reports that the migrants were being charged for their travel by trains to their respective states. The railways has earlier said that it was charging the state governments for the Shramik special train tickets.
