Terming the Raliway budget as ‘disappointing,’ President of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (CGPCC) Bhupesh Baghel and leader of Congress legislative Party (ClP) TS Singhdeo said that most of the decisions taken in the Railway budget has nothing to do with the general public.
The freight rates have been hiked which will further flare up inflation. Despite downfall in the price of crude oil and petroleum products, passenger fare was not slashed, they said, while pointing out that soon after coming to power the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre had increased the passenger fare.
