<div style="height: 8px; color: #0; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; background-color: #ffffff;">Making a strong point against ending over <g data-gr-id="16"><g data-gr-id="21">nine-decade</g> old</g> tradition of presentation of separate Rail budget in Parliament, he asked the NDA government at the Centre to rethink its decision.
“Based on my personal experience as Railway minister I can say the decision will have no benefit,” said Kumar, who was Railway minister during NDA government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
“It seems Railway is not on <g data-gr-id="22">priority</g> of the NDA government at the Centre...this step would end autonomy of Railway,” he told reporters emerging from a press conference on International Sikh conclave.
<g data-gr-id="32">Railway</g> is means of transportation of poor people who have unbreaking faith on the largest public transporter, he added.
