Autonomy of the Railways has been killed: Nitish

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar criticised the Centre for clubbing the Rail Budget with the general Budget saying “it has killed the autonomy of Railways”, the lifeline of the country.

“Railway ka bantadhar kar diya uski autonomy ko katham kar ke (They have ruined the Railways by killing its autonomy),” Kumar told reporters.

Kumar, who had served as Railway Minister, also seemd unimpressed by claims of 16.56 per cent higher allocation of funds for Bihar.
