    Union ministers from Maharashtra and city MPs should resign over the neglect of Mumbai in the budget. The Congress is trying to see how more migrants can enter the city by starting more trains from outside

    Many projects pending, Mamata is continuing Lalu’s stepmotherly treatment to Mumbai commuters. She did not heed my suggestion to introduce additional ladies special locals on Central and Western Lines during peak hours, though she did so in Kolkata and Chennai

    There seem to be regional railway ministers instead of a national one

    Shirish Parkar, MNS spokesperson
    Mamata Banerjee’s fast train does not halt in Maharashtra. The budget has forgotten the state that has given more than half of its MPs to the government.

    Gopinath Munde, BJP general secretary
    There were announcements on long-distance and non-stop trains but suburban railways have been ignored
