New Delhi: The BJP today attacked the railway
minister Laloo Prasad Yadavfor announcing hike in parcel
rates and said many of the measures announced by the
minister were initiated by the previous NDA government.
"The
railway budget has hardly anything to cheer about. Many
of the measures announced by him are mere extension
of the steps taken by our government. The increase in
parcel rates will have cascading effect," BJP spokesperson
V K Malhotra said here.
On
the proposed introduction of 15 new trains, he said
people should wait and watch till the announcement of
new trains gets fructified.
"I
thank the railway minister for praising the earlier
government. Almost all the steps he announced were the
brainchild of the NDA
government. The welfare measures for workers from the
unorganised sector were, if fact, introduced by us,"
Malhotra said.
