"In spite of the present Prime Minister
fighting Lok Sabha elections on major issues including price rise, the
Railway Minister has gone ahead with the announcement of increasing
passenger fare hike, which will have many implications," Gowda told
reporters here.
Stating that there was no need to make the
announcement about the hike before the Budget Session of Parliament
which would commence from July 7, Gowda said, "Within 15 days, heavens
would not have fallen."
It was also unnecessary on the part of
the Railway Minister to put the onus on the previous UPA government for
taking the decision on the hike. He said the issue of hike and the need
for more funds for Railways could have been discussed in the
Parliament.
Commenting on the controversy over Hindi in the
wake of two circulars issued by the Union Home Ministry to promote its
use in the social media, he blamed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh for
"raking" up an old emotive issue and diverting people's attention from
burning problems.
