Jaya demands rollback of railway fares

Similarly, the practice of hiking railway fares every two years has been revised to every six months, she said, adding, “This is a betrayal to the common man”.  

She alleged that if the UPA government had prevented various scams like the 2G Spectrum scam, Coal scam and Commonwealth Games scam, revising fuel prices for every month may have been “avoided”.

“At a time when the price of essential commodities are increasing and fuel prices have been hiked, how far is it justifiable for the Centre, to revise the price of Railway fares?,” she asked.
