Nitishji will agree with me that in order to develop a backward and tribal dominated State like Orissa, an overall development in the railways is required. Hence, there is a need for completing the on-going railway projects by allocating adequate funds so that the projects are completed on time. Last year, about Rs.200 crores was allocated for Orissa but, unfortunately, the money could not be spent. Sir, I am be very much interested in knowing the reasons as to why the funds could not be spent. Certainly not the State Government.
Responsibility has to be fixed on somebody.
I would like the Minister to respond to this point specifically. Sir, I would like to urge upon the hon. Minister to give priority to the completion of the following railway lines. In reply to a Starred Question in Rajya Sabha, the hon. For Lanjigarh Road-Junagarh, costing Rs.105 crores, the Budget allocation was Rs.2 crores.
