New
Delhi: Commenting on the opposition's threat to
boycott the railway budget, Laloo Prasad Yadav, has
said that he hopes that "better sense would prevail."
"I
will present my budget to the people of this nation.
Whether anyone boycotts the proceedings or not is of
little significance to the budget. But I feel that the
NDA leadership should accept its defeat gracefully and
allow the constitutional process to take place,"
Yadav told press persons on Monday.
Yadav
will present his maiden railway budget on Tuesday but
the NDA has said that it would not participate in the
proceedings to mark its
protest against, what it terms, as "tainted ministers"
in the Manmohan Singh-led United Progressive Alliance
government.
