Dinesh Trivedi has resigned as the Railways Minister, according to sources.

Sources add that Mr Trivedi has spoken to Trinamool chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. She is on her way to Delhi and has reportedly sought a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Mukul Roy, who Ms Banerjee wants as the new Railways Minister, is expected to accompany her on the trip.

The Trinamool chief wanted Mr Trivedi removed as the Railways Minister ever since he announced a hike in passenger fares in his maiden Railway Budget on Wednesday.
