Displaying rare aggression, Vaishnaw slammed the previous Congress governments for ignoring the safety aspects of the vast network by delaying the implementation of the automatic train protection system and also took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi for making reels with loco pilots.”Hum reel banane wale log nahi, mehnat karne wale log hai (we are not the ones who make reels, but work with dedication),” Vaishnaw said, highlighting the dedication of his team over mere showmanship.The opposition booed him as ‘reel minister’ and demanded his resignation in the wake of a series of railway accidents over the past couple of months.”Those who are shouting here must be asked in their 58 years of being in power why they were not able to install Automatic Train Protection (ATP), even 1 km.Today, they dare to raise the questions,” Vaishnaw said.Later, the opposition walked out of the Lok Sabha protesting the minister’s remarks.
