Senior Trinamool Congress leader Dinesh Trivedi is talking in two voices. On the one hand, he has strongly opposed the fuel price hike, demanding its rollback, while on the other, as a railway minister, he has indicated at a hike in railway fares.
The Railway Minister has indicated the rail fares are likely to be hiked following an increase in fuel price.
However, Trivedi said, "I cannot forget the people of rural India also. We have to improve our catering, cleanliness. It means we have to give something in return."
Trivedi's comments came in the wake of his colleague Mukul Roy having called up Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday to register the party's protest over the petrol price hike.

"Trinamool Congress wants roll back of the petrol price hike," Trivedi told reporters, adding his party's opinion was never sought before implementing the decision. Read More
