[1]In what has been described as extremely strange move, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday demanded a roll back in the proposed hike in passenger rail fares.
Trinamool Congress on Wednesday opposed the rail fare hike announced on Wednesday by Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi, who is from the same party, saying it wanted a roll-back.
"We oppose the rail fare hike. We want the government to roll-back. It is not in the interest of the common man," Minister of State for Health Sudip Bandyopadhyay, told NDTV.
The fare increases, announced by Trivedi while presenting the railway budget for 2012-13 in the Lok Sabha, are the first in nine years.
