The Polit Bureau demands that the Government take a categorical stand opposing the continuing Israeli aggression which has killed innocent civilians.
The drama of the resignation of Dinesh Trivedi as Railway Minister after the presentation of the Railway Budget reflects badly on the Trinamul Congress and the functioning of the UPA government.
