He hasn't increased passenger fares in his maiden Rail Budget, but the Opposition is angry. BJP accused Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal of bias, alleging that this is not a rail budget but a Rae Bareli budget. Meanwhile, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said that the budget is anti-Bengal. Even outside supporters Mulayam Yadav and Mayawati claimed that Bansal's maiden budget favors only Congress-ruled states and constituencies.
