Congress agrees to remove Dinesh Trivedi as the Railway Minister, but not now as if action will be taken against him then it would give him sympathy and make him a hero.
As per source said, Congress asked Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee to wait till next week after the Prime Minister‘s reply to the Presidential address and Rail Budget in Parliament on Monday as a mid-session swearing-in will give handle to the Opposition.
After Trivedi presented the Rail Budget 2012 with hike fare prices, he was inviting the wrath of Mamata in form of communicated sacking letter for him to PM. Trinamool leader Kalyan Banerjee has also asked Dinesh Trivedi to resign.
But Trivedi who said his Budget is as per Parliament house associations, said that he will resign only when he gets a written command from Mamata Banerjee.
However, Mamata who identified Dinesh Trivedi as an unable man to defend against criticism is not getting support of his Party colleagues to remove Trivedi as Rail Minister.
Ejecting him from the party is totally wrong at this time while party need the numbers of members in Parliament.
Trivedi whose Rail Budget decision is only for interest of nation said, “The country and I have full faith in the PM. I will do and have done what’s in the best interest of the nation and the Indian Railways.”
Trivedi, meanwhile, may stay the Railway Minister for the weekend but after him the top one name prescribed is of Mukul Roy.
