increase of 56 paise per kilogram and taking into account the profit component, foodgrains will become costlier by Rs. One to one and half per kilograms. Such will be the extent of inflation. Not only the foodgrains will become costlier but coal will also become dearer resulting in increased cost of power generation which will ultimately be borne by the common man. The expert committees have also suggested for setting up of several authorities. It will lead to loss of credibility and dampen the pace of work. Particular attention has to be paid towards this aspect. Besides, the issue of PPP project has also come to the fore. However, PPP has to be understood in its true essence in that the partners have to meet their respective responsibilities and taking advantage of concessionary regime should not be the only motive for such partnership. It has been seen quite often that officers tend to join corporation after their retirement. This aspect need to be paid particular attention while forming PPP projects, else Indian Railways is going to meet the fate of Indian Airlines. Now, I would like to talk about pending projects. Several projects are announced but they are not completed due to lack of fund allocation. I would like to quote the example of Indore-Dahod via Maxi-Devas in my constituency which is a tribal area. The initial cost of the project was Rs. 370 crore which has been escalated to Rs. 1470 crore. What is the allocation for it? It ranges from merely Rs. 40 to 70 crore. We need to seriously ponder over as to how these projects can be completed in such a situation. Madhya Pradesh is being ignored in the matter of Railways. There was a project in Bundelkhand from Bhind to
Harpalpur-Mahoba for which survey work was completed during Atalji’s Government but nothing has come out of it. Similarly, there are several <strong>other</strong> projects like Guna-Itawa and Bhind-Itawa etc. on which no attention is being paid. No allocation of funds is being made for the projects in Madhya Pradesh. Introduction of a train between Indore-Bangalore is a long pending demand. Similarly, Indore-Pune express has not been made regular. We had made a demand to extend the Reevanchal express upto Indore but it has not been done. At last, I would like to conclude by saying that Railways require a thorough surgery to regain health. SHRI P. C. CHACKO: I am very glad to support this Budget that this House has got an opportunity to discuss a Budget which is futuristic, growth- oriented and has taken into consideration all the concerns of the Indian Railway, the third largest Railway network in the world. Before I go into the Budget in the background of the criticism against the Budget, I feel that finding fault with <strong>other</strong>s, one should look inwards. The requirement of the Indian Railway is huge. The amount required is very huge and the money provided is very little. This year’s Railway Budget is Rs. 1,13,461 crores and we have to compare this Budget with the previous year’s Budget, not that with the requirements. Whether it is the General Budget or the Railway Budget, requirement is so huge and our resources are limited. In spite of all the shortcomings, in spite of all the problems of resource mobilization Railways could keep the balance today and Rs.1,13,000
