this was one of the worst budgets ever to be presented. a budget should not cater to the needs of only a single state. it should cater to the whole nation as a whole. in this buget the southern part of india especially kerala and goa were completely ignored. not even a single train was introduced to kerala. there is a real need of trains in this state. also it would have been very kind if mr.laloo had extended the mangala lakshwadeep express, the ernakulam-patna express, the ernakulam-jaipur marusagar express, the ernakulam-rajendranagar express to kochuveli in trivandrum because it would do a great deal of benefit to the people who stay in kerala especially in allepey, kottayam, kollam and trivandrum. i humbly request the railway minister to extend these trains during the course of this year.
The Budget Jinx against South continues when all and sundry (usurped by the Great Aganda Bihar) have been included in Guage conversions, doubling, surveys, updates, the main line connecting between Kumbakonam to Villupuram via Mayiladuthurai, Chidambaram (Incidentally the FM's name), Cuddalore & Panruti has been conspicuous by absent. The pair Chord line has been guage converted a few years ago and is now taken up for Doubling.
Why should we lag behind such drastically on implementing our infrastructure improvements, which thankfully have been provided by British (One good thing done by them of laying railway lines before leaving India)
Will Laloo do something in February during Budget for 2005-06?
dear sir, This is the verry good buget for the middle as well as lower people.But need to see on the security in Train. so its requested to see in this matter.
Well Done Lalo ji, You have really done a good job but still we wanted to have one more train (preferably superfast) on Bokaro - Allappey route. if you will do something on this part your decesion will will serve two most important social justification- One with students and second with patients to CMC VELLORE & CHENNAI from various north - eastern part of India. Looking forward for your positive responce.
