Shehad suggested that the new government should be polite, soft and take decisionin favour of people. Miss Banerjee had also pointed out that the Trinamool`sopposition to fare hike did not mean that they were being anti-Centre. “It wasjust a reminder to the central government that the decision should be withdrawnfor the sake of the people.
