Trivedi resigns, Mukul Roy to be new railway minister


NEW DELHI: Ending days of stalemate with the Trinamool Congress leadership, Dinesh Trivedi on Sunday resigned as railway minister after speaking with party chief mamata Banerjee. TMC leader Mukul Roy to replace Trivedi as railway minister.

A source close to Trivedi said he forwarded his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

This follows a talk with Trinamool supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee earlier Sunday.

Mamata Banerjee told reporters, "Dinesh Trivedi called in. He will resign tonight."

Said Trivedi, "She (Mamata Banerjee) spoke to me. The TMC wants me to resign. I told her I will abide by the party and resign."

Dinesh Trivedi had been insistent till now that he would not quit his post unless he got a written order from Mamata. He said on Sunday that the Railway Ministry could not be treated as somebody's property, although, he added that he had full regards for the Trinamool Congress supremo.

Mamata was reportedly upset with the railway minister over the train fare hikes announced in the Rail Budget. Trivedi had reportedly not consulted the Trinamool Congress over the budget, either.

Shame on Mamata Banerjee for playing such low rate dirty politics with no concern for Indian nation in general and Railways in particular.

Till you have your educated, middle and rich class not stand in line and vote in India, you will have politicians playing to the lowest denominator.

As a believer in Karma, I firmly believe Mamata will suffer for her actions.

 

[russellpeters]

the phucking system is designed to throw out honest people.

the issue in India is tax payers dont vote, and those who vote dont pay much tax.

For once I have seen true grit and unwavering commitment in an Indian politician.

Sadly that rarely happens in real world.
SP is going to join UPA and didi is going out. She got bengal, thats all she wanted.

Sadly that rarely happens in real world.

Tomorrow if BJP or Congress comes to power without Mamata's help, she will become the untouchable. Nobody will care for her or Bengal. Modi had the backing of powerful business men, what does Mamata has...

SP is going to join UPA and didi is going out. She got bengal, thats all she wanted.

Ofcourse she has. She can do whatever she wants in Bengal, but keep her petty political games out of national assets like Railways. Already many people are saying that regional parties should not handle ministries like Railways, which affects the whole of India and not just Bengal.

I don't care, but both UPA & NDA will not touch her with a 100 feet pole if they had any choice in the future.

Bengali politicians have inculcated a habit of muftkhori in their public.

They don't want to pay but they want to enjoy the service.

Paise nahin doge toh rail kaise chalegi?

Bengalis are still doing old style politics of rhetorics without substance, where as other state parties and national parties including congress and BJP has moved on to politics based on development.

Yes, but both NDA & UPA will try to avoid her judging by their past experiences with her and Congress is not going to forget easily this humiliation.
