Trivedi believes that the Indian Railways can add 2% to India's GDP and is willing to go against his party's line of not hiking the fares.

However, he believes the government must modernise the railways, for which a fare hike would not be able to generate adequate funds, and has publicly criticised the Prime Minister for not providing funds..

Trivedi is pushing for a national policy on railways, that would continue irrespective of political changes in the government.
