1 Speech of Sh. Pawan Kumar Bansal introducing the Railway Budget, 2013-14 26th February 2013 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2012-13 and a statement of estimated receipts and expenditure for 2013-14. I do so with mixed feelings crossing my mind. While I have a feeling of a colossus today, it is only ephemeral and is instantaneously overtaken by a sense of humility.

Therefore, bear with patience whatever you see and hear from your husband’s family, and be wise in your dealings with them, especially with your husband’s mother. For, by means of your wisdom y...

Whatever has happened was not unexpected. The fear of it was already there because Congress’s soft-Hindutva policy is not hidden from anyone. But still there was some hope that such a move will not be made as, on the face of it, there was no need of this issue [of saffron terror] being brought up at the AICC’s session at Jaipur. And the manner in which the Home Minister brought up the issue gave the impression that UPA Government was equipped with all the necessary tools required for and was determined to cut the BJP to size. But, alas, the fear proved to be true and the hope got defeated In view of BJP’s threat to disrupt the Budget se ssion of the Parliament Suhsil Kumar Shinde’s “regret”, which is an apology, carries several connotations and nuances with it. Despite enjoying political strength, by offering apology the ruling alliance the Congress has accepted its defeat and has proved that it is weak and is at the mercy of the opposition. It means that only if the opposition so ...
