Now Karnataka / Bangalore has to raise loans for METRO
Sanjeev - 11 July, 2014 - 10:48
With small token amount allocated for METRO project, BMRCL will be forced to raise bank loans.
Same time, Indian Railways does not have funds, so GOK is forced to share Railway project cost by 50%.
Even the Suburban Rail / Commuter Rail Bangalore is waiting for funds / approval, both GOK and Indian Railways till finding out the viaility of the project.
Double blow for State Karnataka : Collect more Central Taxes thru Excise and Customs, get less Center share and again come forward the cos sharing projects like METRO, Railways with commitments of 20,000 Crore.
If such lopsided tax sharing between State and Center, how will India grow even after 60 years of Freedom.
