Mamata boards 'Bengal Express'

Mamata Banerjee, Trinamool Congress ,Kolkata


Apparently intending to match her predecessor Lalu Prasad, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has ensured that her home state of West Bengal gets more benefits from this year's railway budget, even promising to upgrade a non-existing station at trouble-torn Lalgarh.

"Lalgarh Junction" was mentioned in the budget speech as one of the 309 stations to be upgraded as 'adarsh' stations with all basic facilities. However, railway officials, when contacted, said there was no station or halt at Lalgarh.
