Modi’s guarantee in trains did not work in Gujarat<\/p>\n
Ahmedabad, 7 March 2024
\nIn Gujarat, a major injustice has been done to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s family of Rs 7 crore in Railways. Modi says, he does. This is Modi’s guarantee. However, Modi’s rail guarantee did not work in Gujarat. Rs. to build Bullet Rail only for the rich. Work has started with a loan of Rs 1 lakh crore. Which too has been delayed by 5 years. Of all the railway projects announced in Gujarat, 90 percent have not been completed.
\nModi’s rail guarantee did not work for his Gujarat family in 10 years.
\nBut in the 10 years of Modi rule, Gujarat has faced huge injustice in the matter of railways. However, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is openly silent in front of Modi.
\nDespite this injustice done to Gujarat, MPs cannot speak in front of Modi. No lobbying is being done by the MPs on Railways.
\nIn the five years before 2014, the average budget of the hill state Uttarakhand was Rs 200 crore. This year the railway budget of Uttarakhand is Rs 5 thousand crores. That means 25 times increase. Railways is expanding into new areas of Uttarakhand. Modi has given Rs 45 thousand crore to Uttarakhand along with another project. In Gujarat, BJP is confident that voters will not form the government of other parties, hence injustice is being done.
\nNarendra Modi went to Uttarakhand and announced that his government has given projects worth Rs 45 thousand crores. But, injustice is being done to Gujarat.
\nIt was announced in Parliament that out of 36 projects planned by the Railway Ministry for Gujarat from 2018 to 2023, not a single railway project was completed within five years. For this Gujarat Rs. 31 thousand crores were given, only 20% of the projects could be completed.
\nNarendra Modi’s Railway Minister is Ashwini Vaishnav.
\n36 railway infrastructure projects worth Rs 30,789 crore with a length of 3,200 km were approved for Gujarat in five years. 735 km Railway lengthening works were started. In which Rs 6,113 crore was spent till 23 March. Plans were being made to start 80 percent of the work.
\n520 km of laying six new railway lines. There were projects worth Rs 6950 crore behind. In which work on 90 km line was started. Rupee. 2200 crores were spent. 90 percent of the work has not even started.
\n1,567 km Gauge conversion projects of 18 railway lines of 645 km length at a cost of Rs 12 thousand crore are included. Long-term projects were started. Rs 3527 crore was spent but the work was not completed.
\nDoubling of 12 lines of 1,113 km line at a cost of Rs. Barely Rs 360 crore was spent on projects worth Rs 11 thousand crore. Lines are incomplete.
\nA total of 26 projects were in poor condition.
\nIt was decided to lay only 3 new lines in Gujarat.
\nThere were to be 10 double line numbers.
\n13 gauges had to be replaced.
\nRs 13,184 crore behind 26 projects of 1 thousand kg meter line.
\nfrequent questions
\nThe state of Prime Minister, External Affairs Minister and Home Minister has reduced the expenditure of Railways in Gujarat. Questions are often raised regarding Gujarat. The bullet train is to be started from the Lone Line and since it will cost as much as an airplane, only rich people and officials will be able to travel, which is 3 percent of the people. This is not a train on which common people can sit. Therefore common people will not get any benefit from it.
\nOn July 14, 2022, the Central Government had announced the construction of 116.65 km new rail line Taranga Hill-Ambaji-Aboo Road project worth Rs 2798 crore by 2026.
\nUnion Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the platform, booking counter, railway under bridge at Chandlodia railway station. Inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of various development works of Western Railway.
\nRajkot Ahmedabad
\nThe Gujarat government had earlier announced the launch of high-speed rail by laying a new railway near the existing national highway between Ahmedabad and Rajkot.
\nThe previous Gujarat government had announced to start local city trains on all the railway lines around Ahmedabad. Modi government did not do anything about that in Gujarat. Central government, Gujarat government, Amit Shah, Narendra Modi are not saying anything.
\nIn such a situation, the question has arisen whether there will be two big projects for the general public. In contrast, only rich people are spending Rs 1 lakh crore to start a superfast bullet train that carries a fare of Rs 15,000. In which 98 percent of the population of Gujarat or Maharashtra cannot sit.
\nAmit Shah has completed the railway work in his parliamentary constituency. But they have forgotten the people of Gujarat. Or they do not speak against Modi.
\nShah said that during the tenure of the previous government 2009-14, Rs 590 crore was spent annually on railways in Gujarat. Over the 8 years from 2014 to 2022, an average of Rs. 4,000 crores have been given. Gandhinagar will become the most developed Lok Sabha constituency in the country.
