Can any one has idead about the Point No1: 120 km Yelahanka - Penugonda new line project. How much is useful for the Karnataka state. Then imagine how much budget will be allocated ( Rs 215 Crore required ). Then others on-going projects may not get sufficient funds in this budget, its again going to be Congress MP's from Karnataka vs BJP MP's, who will win?????

Except for railways, all other central departments have their zones state wise
NHAI has no zones. Railways should be treated like road infrastructure. States should be allowed to have their own inside the state. Cities should be allowed to have their own inside the cities. The more you deregulate the more this can scale.

4. New trains from Hubli to Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai.
5. Shifting of all the SWR offices in Bangalore to Hubli and appointment of D group employees among others

The 120km Yelahanka-Penukonda new line project must mean doubling of the line (presently, it's only a single line upto Penukonda. From Penukonda to Dharamavaram /Gooty /Guntakal Junctions, there are multiple lines).
This will be useful since many trains from the east (originating in Tamil Nadu) pass through one or more of these junctions on their way northwards or north-westwards. Thus, rail connectivity from Bangalore to North & North-west will improve.
A regular /daily train to Vasco /Madgaon /Goa is required from Bangalore. As of now, we have only trains thrice a week.
