www.the financial express/interim budget2009-10
Please give the new train from Bangalore to New delhi and mysore to New delhi for daily services for correcting the heavy rush and clearing the waiting list
Can anyone tell about the status of dindigul to kumuli new rail track, which was talked in 2008 union railway budget.
Hon'ble Lallu Prasad Yadav is a great personality having tuned the structure with his intellectual plans and activities from Deficit Railways into Surplus Railways to enable the India into a stable and Confident Country. I wish him a success in every aspect he attends to the future of the Country.
As per my view this should be added to the all states capitals and main citis to the national capital by this every one get benifited and it will great for every indian dream and so om.........
i think lalu Prasad Yadav has done a great job...He has changed the face of Indian Railways, he converts the deficit into surplus..
nice budget by lalu ji. i think he is doing well in his time period.
In budget nothing is ther for uttranchal tarai side. We must start the direct train from mumbai to kathgodam. Think Think Think
Great budget, but nothing is there for uttranchal. There is a need of diect train from mumbai to kathgodam. If possible please re consider. It will help in devlopment of uttranchal.
From maharastra to Kathgodam ther is no dicert train. To boost the tourism in nainital(in uttanchal)this is must. This will again help in development of hill area.
No new trains, no new lines for hinterland of Karnataka. Something for Bangalore but connecting only to neighbouring states. What about Kannadigas living in Bangalore? We badly need another express train to Hubli, Mangalore.When will this injustice to karnataka end? It's not Indian railway, it is Bihar-Tamil nadu Railway
Great budget. Good Profits. But the budget is giving much priority to Bihar. Compare Chennai with Patna. Approximately 80 trains for Chennai (Daily and weekly) including Egmore Station where as Patna has more than 140 trains. Whether it is UPA or BJP government, Railway Ministers are overlooking Southern states.
It is a great budget considering the current difficult economic times. What else we could expect the BJP (and the BJP folks here)? They will never appreciate anything good done by the government.
Although this budget is coming MP election based but over all very good.Finally beneficial to public .Well done! Laloo ji .Kep it up .
which bhubaneshwar new delhi rajdhani's frequency has been increasedwhether it is the one via TATANAGAR or the other one via ADRA ???
I congratulate to Lalu prasad yadav for continous presenting railway budget since 5 years. He has done Tremendous job since last 5 years regarding fruitfull of the railways. But i have some compalaint regarding ingonrance of some growing state like Chhattisgarh.

SCR,SWR got a raw deal. Lalu is the railway minister only for bihar. The revenue that bihar gives to indian railways is less than any other state. This is completely disappointing. Shame on the UPA government
Budget is completely bihar centric. What about other states?. Karnataka has not got anything in this budget. Shame on the UPA govt. Lalu down down. Sonia down down.

Every time that bloody gives new rail to bihar only. What about Other states, especially karnataka. We will never vote for a congress govt. Bjp gave us the zonal HQ but congress gave us just a coconut shell. Sonia go to hell!
