The man who continues to remain in the news -- Dinesh Trivedi.

Attacking the Prime Minister over the removal of Dinesh Trivedi, the BJP today said if the former Railways Minister was sacked due to increase in fares, the role of the Prime Minister and Finance Minister should also be questioned in the whole episode.

Trivedi, who had presented the Rail Budget on Wednesday, was replaced by Trinamool Congress with Mukul Roy after party chief Mamata Banerjee opposed the increase in rail fares. Taking part in the discussion on Rail Budget, Balbir Punj (BJP) said, "Is it not correct that the Prime Minister and the
Finance Minister had given their blessings to the Rail Budget presented by Trivedi? Should these two not be questioned?"
