Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday said that Rs 15,940 crore has been allocated for Maharashtra railways in the Union Budget 2024. He claimed that this amount is 13.5 times the average outlay during the UPA years.
Addressing a press conference through a video link from Delhi, Vaishnaw stated Prime Minister Narendra Modi has increased the railway allocation for the state by 13.5 times in the Union Budget 2024, compared to the average of Rs 1,171 crore when the Congress-led UPA was in power, according to PTI.
