While I appreciate the patriotic spirit, I wish they'd focus more on improving railway safety too. Can't we have both - better security AND cultural programs?

PM Modi's emphasis on Aatmanirbharta is the need of the hour. We must support local products and reduce dependence on imports. Band performances are good, but real patriotism is in actions!
