States with local governments against BJP will continue to be neglected.

What is first and second class in local train? What is the difference? Here there is no such thing like class in local train. Fare varies only if you take express train, passenger and local emu same fare

First class: seats different. very less rush than 2nd class, so can move & get in/out easily (in peak hours, it is also crowded for some routes). in first class, those who get the seat won't allow an extra person to be seated (4 in 3's place).

Does not those seated people exchange seat ? Here if someone is seated for more than one hour then he will definitely exchange his seat with the standing person. And 4 people will seat anyway if physical dimension of people does not prevent it

not unless they get down. Here, very few % would have to seat more than 1 hour as the crowd is continuously moving/reach their destination. So, people might do that, not sure. In 2nd class, you may request. In 1st, generally, you would get a seat as they will be free mostly except sometimes.

Does TTE check tickets on train ? I mean if I buy 2nd class and travel 1st class(less crowded), will they catch me ?

Here TTE only check in station, they don't check on train

Yes, they do in first class, but only sometimes. They can check at the stations too. The probability of getting caught is less, but I never did so.
First class is good only if you are a daily commuter & want to buy a monthly pass (First class monthly pass is approx equal to what you would pay if you buy a 2nd class ticket daily).
