Suresh Prabhu backs scrapping Railway Budget
Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu on Wednesday backed NITI Aayog’s 20-page note to the PMO that recommended dispensing with a separate Railway Budget. “In the long term interest of the Railways, it’s always a good idea to have a consolidated Union Budget,” Prabhu said. He had also taken up the matter with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley last year, ministry officials said.
