BUDGET (RAILWAYS): Combined Discussion On Budget (Railways) ... on 9 March, 2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHRI. BASANAGOUDA R. PATIL(YATNAL) (BIJAPUR) : Madam Chairperson, Thank you for giving me an opportunity to participate in the discussion on Railway Budget 2007-08 presented by Hon’ble Railway Minister.
As far as I understand this Railway budget has not rendered justice to all the states of the country Being a Railway Minister for the entire country it is his duty to keep all the states in mind while allocating funds in the budget. But in this Budget Hon’ble Minister has given top priority to only few states including his parliamentary constituency. In his own state and in states where his Government’s coalition members parties rule. It seems that only few states are having over the Railways. Majority of the states have been neglected by the Railway Ministry in this Budget.
For example Bihar has been given a major share in the Railway Budget. Since many Railway Ministers have been representing Bihar, it has been given major share. But in this Budget Hon’ble Railway Minister has given top priority to his own parliamentary constituency. It is very much painful and unfortunate. My concern is such partiality would affect the progress of our country. That’s why the Railway Minister should present such budget, in which all the states of the country get equal priority and it should contribute to progress and prosperity of the country. I would say, only for gaining popularity Hon’ble Minister Lalu Prasad Ji has presented this way Budget and it will not ensure the progress of the country.
The Hon’ble Railway Minister has stated that the Railways has earned a profit of Rs. 20,000 crores but this credit should go to the NDA Government not the UPA Government. I would like to say that a good railway Budget must have a broad view caring for all the states of the country without bias. Just because there is no hike in fares a Budget does not become a good Budget.
The NDA Government during its tenure had made sincere efforts and implemented many proper monitoring measures to put the Indian Railways on the right path. Earlier it was suffering a great loss. The NDA Government under
*English translation of the speech originally delivered in Kannada.
the leadership of Shri. Atal Behari Vajpayee ji the then Hon’ble Prime Minister and also the then Hon”ble Railway Minister Shri. Nitish Kumar Ji had announced a new project ‘Sudoor Kshetra Rail Pariyojana’, under this scheme our Government had committed to provide Railway facilities to the citizens of all taluks and districts from Kashmir to Kanyakumari . But I am sorry to say in this budget the Hon’ble Railway Minister has not even mentioned about the Sudoor Kshetra Pariyojana.
I would say the Hon’ble Minister has discriminated against many states while including various projects of different states like Gauge conversion, approval of new railway lines. That’s why I would request Shri. Lalu prasad yadav ji to have a broad look into all the states while allotting funds to various railway projects in different states.
I would like to remind the Hon’ ble members of the UPA Government that before NDA Government came into power the Railways had been suffering loss due to the Congress Government that ruled the country for more than 53 years out of 60 years of Independence. But within a short span of 6 years Shri A.B. Vajapayee’s Government had brought the Indian Railways on the right track to earn profit. Hon’ble UPA members should not forget this fact.
As far as Karnataka state is concerned it has been contributing more to the Railway exchequer as Chhatisgarh, which has also been contributing by way of earning more income to the Railways. For example, Railways is earning Rs. 1500/- crores from iron ore of Karnataka, which is being sent to different parts of the country. I am sorry to say that my state Karnataka has been neglected by the Railway Minister in this Budget.
Karnataka has not got a better deal in this Budget. Only Rs.497 crores has been allocated to Karnataka. Merely 50-60 miles of new railway has been announced. 37 projects have not been announced which we have been demanding. From Bagalkot to Bijapur only 70 Km. Railway line has been announced. These are no big projects. There is no use by merely allotting one core or two crore rupees for these projects.
There are many states, where ticket less travelers are more but have been getting better deal. Whereas in my state which is contributing more income is neglected. From iron ore, and our people have been traveling by valid tickets, but is neglected.
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI R. VELU): Karnataka should not say that you have been neglected and you are quoting figures saying Bihar is getting more, last year outlay for Karnataka was Rs. 390 crores, now it is Rs.630 crores. It is 97% more, almost.
SHRI. BASANAGOUDA R PATIL (YATNAL) (BIJAPUR) : Now the Hon’ble Railway Minister of State for Railways has said his Ministry has allotted 97% more funds compared to last year. But that is not a big amount. At the same time he should think of our state. Freight movement of iron ore from Bellary itself is contributing Rs.1500 crore to the Railway exchequer. Therefore while allotting the funds the Hon’ble Minister should see that state concerned get share in proportion to its contribution and according to that priority should be given. On the basis of that Rs.1500 crore should be allocated to my state in this Budget.
Bijapur-Bagalkot Gauge Conversion is there and as stated by Shri Suresh Prabhu Hon’ble Member of Parliament the Hubli-Ankola Railway line should be connected to Konkan Railway. For this Rs.1000 crores should be allocated. If it is by allocated only Rs.5 crore or 10 crore, then it will take 40-50 years to complete the project. For Gulbarga-Bidar Railway line only 5 crores of rupees has been announced. When our NDA Government was there 10 crore rupees had been allocated for this Railway line. But even then the land has not been acquired for this Railway line. Monitering Official has also not been appointed so far.
In the same way Mehabub Nagar-Raichur Railway line, Talaguppa-Shiomoga Gauge conversion, Chamrajnagar-Mettupalyarm and Sahabad-Sedabala Railway line were sanctioned two years back. But survey work has not been taken up so far. Bagalkot-Kudachi Railway line which is likely to earn more income to Railways exchequer Tumkur-Chitradurga Railway line which was the dream of our national leader Shri S.Nijalingappa, who was also the Chief Minister of Karnataka and President of All India Congress Committee and Alamatti-Yadagir New Railway line have not been included the Railway Budget. That’s why I humbly request Shri Laluprasad yadav Ji to take up the works of this Tumkur-Chitradurga Railway line in the present Budget itself.
The Hon’ble Railway Minister has introduced Garib Rath. It is my responsibility to congratulate when the Hon’ble Minister has done really commendable a job. So I congratulate Hon’ble Minister and also I request him to introduce a Garib Rath from Bangalore to Delhi via Hubli and Gadag-Bijapur after conversation. This should be included in the next supplementary Budget. Bijapur-Mumbai-train which has been running thrice a week, should be made daily and extended upto Bagalakot. Bagalkot-Bangalore Basava Express train should be made daily train in my Parliamentary Constituency, Bijapura When I was State Minister of State for Railways, if Bijapur Railway Station as model station. So I request Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav Ji to announce the Bijapur station as model station.
When the NDA Government was there the Gulbarga Division was given its due status. I request Shri Lalu Ji that the Gulbarga Division should be given the same status like Salem Division in Tamil Nadu, which has been announced in this Railway Budget. It will be of great help to Karnataka and it will benefit the people Karnataka. With this I conclude my speech, thank you, Madam.
