Taking exception to his name being dragged into the issue of leasing out Railway Land at MTS Colony in Hubballi by Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines Pralhad Joshi has termed Mr. Surewala’s statement as ‘childish and foolish’ and has warned of legal action against him.
Speaking to presspersons at his residence in Hubballi on Saturday, Mr. Joshi said that Mr. Surjewala should provide proof for his allegations of corruption in the auction of the railway land and if not he would take legal action against him.
Mr. Joshi said that he had already spoken to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav urging him to take action against those who were defaming Indian Railways and spreading false news.
