BJP leader and former union minister Ram Naik today said that he wrote to RailwayMinister Mamata Banerjee to revoke the lifetime complimentary first class air-conditioned pass given to her predecessor Lalu Prasad.
"The former railway minister had ensured prior to his resignation that he got a lifetime complementary air-conditioned first class pass," Naik said. Terming the order as"unethical", Naik said that he had written to the present Railways Minister to revoke it.
An order dated May 19 from the Railway Board stated the former Railway Minister would get a First Class air-conditioned complimentary card pass for himself with three companions in the same class, the BJP leader said. One attendant for the group would also be assured a ticket in the second air-conditioned class as per the order, he said.
The decision also states that former Minister of State for Railways could also be issued a air-conditioned First Class pass, a ticket for a companion in the same class and an attendant in the air-conditioned second class.
The BJP leader, who also made available the order issued by Railway authorities, said the decision by the Ministry ofRailways was"improper and unethical".
