We have not got good funds in Central budget, rail budget, no speed rail or bullet rail and no support, he said. Since bullet and speed rails will push the development of the states and economy there is a need for their expansion KTR said.KTR attributed it to a deliberate attempt to ignore our state by the center.
KTR said that the state government gave about 300 acres for the Kazipet rail coach factory which needs 135 acres. He said that Narendra Modi, who says Sabka Sath – Sabka Vikas, is not keeping that in deeds. He attributed continuing negligence by the center in this regard to partiality towards us.
