After the successful program FRANKLY SPEAKING tele casted in a reputed channel, I have tried to simulate the same here where we(rail fans) have taken host chair and ECoR on the guest side. How the interview unfolds is what you read here. AS always, this is just for fun with facts mixed with humor.
Any concerns on phrases, kindly let to review and edit accordingly. Would be completing this before the budget is tabled.

CC...
more... : Welcome to the show, Coffee with Controversy...
EC : My pleasure !!
CC : I would like to first ask why it took so long. It has been a decade that you became active in IR(2003 apr 1) and this is your 1st interview.
EC: Well, I have been with public attending functions, flagging new trains, extending trains, eating in pantries etc around BBS, Puri etc but my main focus is to develop BBS, KUR, CTC, Puri, SBP
CC : VSKP no where mention, well lets move on.
EC : No no, you are mistaken. VSKP has been mentioned when I said extension of trains.
CC : Is it like you wanted to avoid tough questions on various issues ?
EC : I like tough question and I would face them.
CC : Well, do be specific and straight, why have you avoided the whole question on why VSKP is being ill treated, deceived and ditched for 10 years?
EC : If you see, in every speech of mine, I do mention about earnings of our zone, contribution from each division and revenue generated by each station. WAT has been the most contributing divison to ECoR and we, just manage to survive by clinging to them.
CC : you are not specific to the question. My question is, why wasn't VSKP developed on par with other stations in ECoR ?
EC : You see, we have our panel which sits in BBS which decides the funds allocation to each station for development activities. We have members from all places like I said above to demand and divide funds among themselves. VSKP do get its own share of NOTHING.
CC : Well Mr ECoR, Why do you want avoid a direct face off with WAT over the issues of development?
EC : To understand and reply, you should little bit about ECoR is, what circumstance did ECoR took its birth. Have delve into ECoR, you could have got your answer.
The real question is what I am doing and you should be what ECoR is scared off and what not.
CC : So, you meant that you arent scared off anything and you wanted to lead the zone with single hand. How successful was this ?
EC : As I said, you should know about ECoR first. When I was not born, we were in a joint family of SER and ER. BBS was nothing in those days and no God damn knows about BBS. Everyone speaks about VSKP and its income. Who doesn't love a golden duck and then, we have adopted it. I have seen funds being given in excess to BBS and KUR, I have seen trains being snatched from VSKP, I have seen trains by passing VSKP and without halting @ DVD. So, by this you should understand however the world has done gaga over, my courage has enabled to develop BBS.
Let's take a break and dont walk away, controversy in every sip of coffee.
