The Railway Budget placed before the Parliament on 26th of February, 2013 for the year 2013-14 by the Railway Minister, U.P.A. Government in the center by Mr. Pawan Kumar Bansal , has not given smile on the faces of Himachalies this year also. The central Government is always discriminating the state of Himachal Pradesh for the last 65 years of its independence. This Government is chosen by the people of the country by by voting but remained unfruitful for Himachal Pradesh. The British Government who ruled the India for two hundred years, had constructed two nerrow gage Railway lines one from Kalka Shimla and the other is Joginernagar. The Central Governments till now have totally failed to watch the interests of Himachal People. This is shameful. If Britishers can construct Railway lines, why not our own elected Governments in the Center.
Similarly, the General Budget placed before the Parliament by the Finance Minister, UPA Government in the center on 28th of February, 2013 for the year 2013-14 is also discourages for the people of Himachal Pradesh. No Industrial Package given being a special status Hilly State, no other big Projects announced for the people of the State of Himachal Pradesh. There is no big project in the state where the un employed educated youths could get the employment. The number of such youths in this tiny hill state is more then 12 lacs in a population of 70 lacs. There is no sugar mill in the State of Himachal Pradesh even the sugar cane in bulk is being produced by the farmers in Sirmour / Paonta Sahib area and in Una District of this State. There is no big International Airport in this state. No big Railway coach factory , no Defense Depot in this State. The people of the state are always at the mercy of Central Government. In the State some Hydro Projects are working where the employment has been done from out side the State. Similarly, the Cement Factories are functioning where also the employment is from the out side.
The people of this state are innocent and peaceful. If such type of discrimination is continued to be done with the people of this State , one day will come that all political parties will have to be compelled to launch an agitations against the central Government for getting their legitimate rights.
