New Delhi, Aug 13: The BJP on Tuesday appealed to the Trinamul Congress to reconsider its decision to stay out of the ruling NDA coalition till the railway bifurcation issue was resolved to its satisfaction. "Trinamul Congress is an important NDA ally. We appeal to party chief Mamata Banerjee to reconsider her decision. Beyond this, I do not want to comment. The NDA partners will take a decision on the issue," party spokesman Arun Jaitley told reporters here when asked about the West Bengal leader's announcement.
Virtually ruling out any rethink on the bifurcation issue, Jaitley, however, recalled that the Union Cabinet had rediscussed the issue and decided to stick to its earlier decision. Bureau Report
