Record allocation for railways in M’rashtra will have good impact: Vaishnaw
The record allocation of Rs 13,539 crore for railways in Maharashtra will have a “very good effect”, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday.
Addressing a press conference through video link from Delhi, Vaishnaw said that the allocation in the 2023-24 Budget for Maharashtra was 11 times the average allocation between 2009 to 2014.
Saying that the union government was getting good cooperation from the Eknath Shinde-led government, Vaishnaw reiterated the charge that when Uddhav Thackeray was chief minister, the bullet train project did not get any clearances from the state government. “The deadline for Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project (completion) is August 2026,” he added.
