When MRVC can progress so much why is Bangalore left out on commuter rail

From 2015, 12-car trains to run on harbour line
After three years, it might not be that difficult to board a Panvel train.
The union cabinet and its committees have given the green light to run 12-car trains on the harbour line from CST-Belapur-Panvel and Bandra-Andheri section and alsoinformed the railway ministry about it in early February.
This project, which has a March 2015-deadline, is expected to increase the carrying capacity of the harbour line by nearly 33%.
“This is the fourth project that has been cleared by the ministry of railways to clear the backlog of the harbour line,” said a senior official, who had accompanied the railway minister in Mumbai.
“The other three projects are extending the line from Panvel to Uran, a separate fast-train corridor with air-conditioned locals and a third line to decongest the existing harbour track to segregate goods lines. Work on all these has begun.”
The average rise in commuter traffic on the harbour line in the last five years has been 9%-10%, while the same is 3%-4% on the suburban central and western main lines.” the official said.
Considering the estimated rise in traffic in the next 20 years, it would not be possible to operate the required train services on the existing corridor, which requires two additional tracks. These additional tracks could be fast tracks leading to Navi Mumbai, and save at least 30 minutes of travel time up to Panvel.”
The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation has begun work on a study report on the practicalities of the implementation that will involve increasing the length of platforms and re-spacing signals and overhead equipment at the elevated stations of Cotton Green, Sandhurst Road and Dockyard Road at an approximate cost of Rs800 crore.

Do we have clarity on Pune Daund electrification or is railways bestowing its blessings only on Mumbai and Ahmedabad?

Series of meetings with solutions and deadlines can be seen from the meeting which were held regulalry at GM / CR of Ministry of Railway, MRVC Charimen, MoG and others
Its amazing to see How Indian Railways work in Mumbai and its complet opposite in Bangalore. When even GOK calls meeting with Railways, lowest officer in SWR will be nominated to attend and officer will tell not possible.
Look at how Mumbai is getting transferred with efficient Indian Railways:

Connecting the existing skywalk on west side of Ghatkopar station to the Metro building so as to ensure seamless connectivity with railway’s 12 meters wide FOB

Even the simple thing like Raiwlay FOB and METRO FOB connecting issues are resolved in such smooth way, In Bangalore BMRCL and SWR fight each other as if other agency is harming India.
Shame on both BMRCL and SWR for making loss to country and making citizens to suffer.

So Railway Minister does every thing for Mumbai but talks in the air for Bangalore.
I am surprised why Bangalore MPs and GOK wants to invite him for all functions when he does not have courtesy for Bangalore.
