KOLKATA:
Trinamool Congress chief
Mamata Banerjee, who has demanded that Prime Minister replace railway minister Dinesh Trivedi with her trusted lieutenant Mukul Roy, has said no one was above party discipline.
"No one is above party discipline. Dinesh Trivedi did not consult me or Mukul Roy (the party all-India general secretary)," party insiders quoted Banerjee telling the Trinamool Congress legislature party meeting on Thursday ahead of the
budget session of the West Bengal legislative assembly.
"Increase in rail fares (will ) lead to increase in the people's burden," she said explaining her stand on opposing increase in railway fares across the board in the budget.
Trinamool Congress legislators endorsed the party chief's stand and criticised Trivedi.
