RJD chief Lalu Prasad is learnt to have taken up the proposed transfer of two mega rail projects — loco factories at Chapra and Madhepura — with railway minister Mamata Banerjee. According to railway sources, Lalu received favourable response from the railway minister.

The railway ministry under Banerjee was taking a fresh look at the two projects, situated in Chapra and Madhepura — two Lok Sabha constituencies represented by Lalu — to explore the possibility of shifting them in West Bengal.

Banerjee looks all set to follow in her predecessor Lalu Prasad Yadav’s footsteps by not announcing any hike in passenger fares, she is, however, unlikely to emulate Lalu when it comes to making any kind of cuts in passenger fares.

Yes... Lalu’s term when the single-point agenda during the Rail Budget used to be fare-cuts, the ministry under Mamata is apparently under not much pressure to cut fares further.
