 "No one has contacted me for ministerial post: Sreedharan")

Neither have I contacted the BJP, nor have they come up with a ministerial post for me,” said the 82-year-old retired Indian Engineering Service official. The media in the state is abuzz with speculation that Sreedharan would be made a junior minister in the railways. Sreedharan has to his credit the building of the Konkan railway line after which he stewarded the Delhi Metro. He is now in charge of making the Kochi Metro a reality with the first train scheduled to run Dec 31, 2015. IANS
