Union Minister for steel Beni Prasad Verma drew criticism from all parts of the country for distributing mobile phones, suitcases and cash worth Rs 2 crore to journalists and Congress workers in Lucknow. In fact, he also 'assured' that he would give a 'better package' to scribes in Faizabad. Referring to the money distributed as TA and DA for journalists and the members of 'Steel Consumer Council' formed by his ministry, he said,"I am trader and I know where to invest to get good returns."
