 AllIsWell | Mayawati for rollback of railway fares hike on 10 January, 2013 - 08:00 PM | |
Commenting that the Railway Ministry has also been taken over by the Congress culture, BSP president Mayawati today said the hike in rail fares was uncalled for and should be taken back immediately. "Till now, the Railway ministry was spared from the wrong economic policies of the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre but the hike in rail fares shows complete 'congressisation' of the ministry," she told reporters here. The rail fare hike and that too before the railway budget was yet another 'anti-people' step of the Centre, the Bahujan Samaj Party president said, demanding that the Centre immediately rollback its decision. She warned the Centre to act seriously about the attack of Pakistan army on Indian soldiers violating the ceasefire. "The defence and home ministries should give some serious thinking to this," she added. The former Chief Minister came down heavily on the Akhilesh Yadav government in the state on increasing crimes specially against women. | ||
