New Delhi, July 03: Dismissing Mamata Banerjee’s Railway Budget as “impractical”, RJD chief Lalu Prasad today said it was based on his achievements when he was at the helm and questioned the need for issuing a white paper on the situation of the ministry during his tenure.
“Banerjee’s vision 2020 for railways is based on the achievements made during my five year’s stint as Railway Minister,” he said.
When asked if she read out a budget presented by him earlier, Prasad said, “She did not present the right budget of Lalu.”
Faulting Banerjee’s decision to run double-decker trains and start new non-stop point to point (Duronto) train services he said, “They are impractical.”
Reacting sharply to Banerjee’s decision of issuing a white paper, Prasad said, “I do not know what is in her mind but there will be confusion due to this white paper thing…this is shortsightedness.
