"The Congress is not sensitive to the issue of tainted ministers and NDA would boycott the Rail Budget to press for its demand to remove them," Singh, who is also a former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, told reporters on Wednesday night.

Singh, who was at Muzaffarnagar to visit the family of the slain IRCON engineer Sudhir Pundir, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir recently, alleged that there had been a spurt in terrorist activities in that state since the Congress-led government came to power at the Centre.

He met Pundir's family members and expressed his heartfelt condolences to them.
