Nishikant Dubey's savage reply when a reporter asked why the BGP HWH VB is not originating from BGP in the morning:

"I wrote a letter on the 2nd to get this train running and the government took a decision so quickly that on the 3rd, it was finalized that this train would run.

Their thinking and my thinking are both different. The difference is that they think that people from Bhagalpur, Dumka should go to Howrah and spend money there. If Bhagalpur, Anga Pradesh, Santhal Pargana does not develop, the main reason for this is that they think Howrah is a big city while I think Bhagalpur, Dumka, Godda is a big city. My thinking is that people of Howrah, people of Bengal should come here to worship at Basukinath, see Mandar Hill, see Vikramshila, go to Sultanganj and see it, after seeing it all day, they should catch the Jamalpur Howrah train from Kahalgaon Bhagalpur. People of Bengal should come to Bhagalpur, Dumka and spend money.

The people of Godda have made me an MP four times, just as you can never repay your parents' debt, I can never repay the debt of the people of Godda. Just as parents serve us, I am serving the people of Godda. Vande Bharat stops at Nonihat, Dumka, Mandar Hill, Barahat, which gives poor and backward areas a chance to board this train, Bardhaman does not stop this train but the backward areas have the full right to travel on this Vande Bharat."
