Orissa is always neglected by railway ministry. All the time railway ministry portfolio is handled by either a person from Bihar or West Bengal. So, they give more importance to their own states. There are so many railway projects are either pending or incomplete in Orissa due to lack of funding or ignorance by the railway ministry. Because of the lack of infrastructure and communication in the tribal dominated areas in the Orissa, Naxalite activities are day by day growing. UPA government should more concentrate on these issues by providing better infrastructure facilities like rail and transport services for better socio economic growth.

lets see what she will be having in her budget bag...
