Today Parkash Singh Badal, chief minister declares Union Railway budget for 2010-11 describing it as “another instance of sheer discrimination and gross injustice meted out”…According to Parkash, the railway budget given by minister Mamta Banerjee is completely “insensitive” towards the need of the border state..
He said that even the progress on the Chandigarh-Ludhiana link sanctioned by IK Gujral government had not been mentioned in the budget despite state government’s repeated reminders to Centre for early completion of this project. The budget had also not taken care of the state’s pending demand to sanction another Western freight dedicated Rail Corridor Mumbai-Delhi to Amritsar via Ludhiana to give fillip to the industrial sector in general and the agro based in particular, he said.
Bhupinder Singh Hooda has welcomed the budget.. He said that they appreciate this decision and said furtherthat the Ambala Cantt railway station has been identified as a world class station in the budget.
