Congress rejects demand of PK Bansal’s resignation

New Delhi: Congress on Saturday ruled out demands for Railway Minister PK Bansal’s resignation saying it has become a ‘disease’ of the Opposition to make such demands.

“For those who are demanding resignation, it has become a disease,” Congress General Secretary and head of media department Janardan Dwivedi told reporters.

BJP has demanded the sacking of the Railway Minister and CBI prosecution against him with party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad saying that seeking pecuniary advantage by someone close to the Railway Minister and abusing the authority of the minister is a ‘copybook case’ of prosecution of Bansal. CPI (M) also has demanded his resignation.

The Minister’s nephew V Singla was yesterday arrested by the CBI in connection with alleged bribery of Rs 90 lakh for fixing a top level position in the government.

Bansal, however, has distanced himself from his nephew, saying he had no business links with him and denied any wrongdoing.
