NEW DELHI, Feb 13: Almost every Opposition party, including those of the Left, has severely criticized Railway Minister Lalu Prasad’s interim Rail Budget today. The MPs from the Northeast came down heavily on Yadav for his total neglect to the region.
Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways Basudev Acharya said this is very unfortunate that Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav made no mention of the security problem being faced by railway workers in the ongoing Lumding-Badurpur Broad Gauge project.
AGP MP Kumar Deepak Das said: “This is a Bihar-centric Rail Budget. No attention has been given to Asom and other States of the Northeast.” He further said the people of Asom did place many demands like total electrification of railway lines and double line, but the demands fell to the deaf ears of the Railway Minister.
BJP MP from Arunachal Pradesh Kiren Rijiju said: “In the last five years, Lalu Prasad Yadav betrayed the north-eastern region, but we don’t have to worry. After three months, the BJP-led NDA government will introduce the full-flagged Railway Budget in Parliament. We will announce enough proposals for development of railway infrastructure in the north-eastern region.”
