Mukul Roy to take over as Railway Minister today- NewsX

  • 5 years ago
Mamata Banerjee's nominee Mukul Roy is all set to take over the Railway Minister's post laid vacant by outgoing Trinamool man Dinesh Trivedi. But anti-graft activist Anna Hazare is not taking kindly to the compulsion of coalition politics that the Congress is happy to make compromises for. While Mamata Banerjee has gotten her way with the cornered Congress party. Hazare says he will drag the issue to the court. The man who championed the cause for the Lokpal Bill demands to know how the UPA decided to begin a precedent by replacing the Cabinet Minister right in the middle of the Budget session. Trinamool member Mukul Roy is all set to be sworn in as Rail Minister at 10 AM today. The Rail budget discussion will take place in house. All eyes are now on Mamata's call for partial roll back in rail fares. Will the Congress-led UPA relent to Mamata's demand?
