NDTV.com: "Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav came in for some strong criticism from the Opposition for not being present in Parliament. A day after the Punjab train disaster, the Railways Minister was away in Patna attending a political rally instead of being in Parliament answering questions on just what went wrong.
The Minister of State for Railways said he was ready with facts and figures on the accident but nobody wanted to listen. "I went to the site myself and got full details, but they were not interested in listening to me," said R Velu, Minister of State for Railways. With an eye on the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, the Opposition clearly is trying to get political mileage out of the Punjab tragedy by cornering Lalu Yadav."
