Reacting to the rail budget,UP Chief Minister Mayawati said the Centre should change its dual policy. Coming down on Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee,the BSP supremo said though the Trinamool chief had referred to the policy of inclusive development in her budget speech,no new initiative had been taken to bring poor people living in remote areas to the mainstream of development. She said proposals made in the railway budget showed that the UPAs inclusive slogan was misleading.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said though the budget proposed to develop 375 stations as ideal stations,it had just a few stations from her state,the largest in terms of population. She added that just five stations from the state figured in the list of 50 stations to be brought to global standards.
