Nagaur : Hanuman Beniwal, MP from Nagaur Lok Sabha seat of Rajasthan, had a heated argument with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in Parliament on Thursday afternoon. The matter escalated so much that the minister told Beniwal to go out and see. After this, the leaders of the India Alliance started a ruckus in the House, which continued for some time. After this, Beniwal came out and talked to the media and strongly condemned the Railway Minister’s behavior.
‘The Prime Minister should sack such a minister’
Beniwal said, ‘I wanted to draw the attention of the Railway Minister towards some demands of Rajasthan. But he behaved very badly with me. He gestured towards me and said that you go out, I will take care of you. His behavior was not right towards MPs. It is unfortunate that ever since the Railway Ministry has come into the hands of Ashwini Vaishnav, train accidents are continuously increasing in the country. Today passengers traveling by train are not able to sleep. They are always afraid of train accidents. I had raised this issue. This is my right. But he behaved badly with me. That is why I demand from the Prime Minister to dismiss such a minister.
‘People are calling the Railway Minister a real minister’
While sharing a video on X, Beniwal wrote in the caption, ‘Earlier, when it came to railways, the passenger’s mind was safety and trust. But now rail accidents are happening continuously in the country, and the Railway Minister is turning away from his responsibility. Now the common man has started asking whether the railways, which writes Happy Journey on the ticket, really wants the public’s journey to be happy or not? Now questions are being raised about safe travel in trains. Will the people traveling in the train reach their destination safely or not, will the train not fall victim to an accident? This concern has started troubling the common man. Because during the tenure of the current Railway Minister, who made a video of safety cover for passengers, 2 passenger trains and 1 goods train are getting derailed every month. After the increasing accidents of trains, there is anger against the system among the people of the country, the Railway Minister is being called the reel minister on social media!’
How did the dispute start in the House?
This controversy started when the Railway Minister was telling the House about the system made for loco pilots and the reforms being done in the railways. During this, the opposition MP taunted him by calling him ‘Reel Minister’. On hearing this, Minister Vaishnav got angry and replied, ‘We are not just reel makers. We are hardworking people, working people. We are not people who just make reels and show them like you. Sit quietly.’ After this, when there was a ruckus in the House, the Railway Minister told Speaker Om Birla to bring the House in order. After which the Speaker told the minister not to respond to anyone. At this time, this statement of the Railway Minister and Hanuman Beniwal’s reaction is going viral on social media. Whereas from the social media platform of Congress, the statement of the Railway Minister about the crack in the wall at Ayodhya railway station is being presented by linking it to the train accident.
