Raman Singh disappointed with interim rail budget, says UPA government ignored state

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction over the interim railway budget, saying the Congress-led UPA government has "completely ignored" his state.

"Like previous years, again Chhattisgarh is ignored and neglected in the rail budget", Singh told reporters in Raipur. The Chief Minister said his state was "ignored" despite generating maximum revenue for railways and is left out on counts of ensuring facilities and expanding rail routes.

"This interim budget is disappointing for the people of the state," he added.
