Moily to take up State Railway Issues

New Delhi, Feb 28 (DHNS): Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily on Saturday said he would take up the long pending-demand of extending Bangalore-Mangalore day train up to Karwar via Udupi with Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee soon. 

Speaking to newsmen here, Moily said though he had requested the Railway Minister for extending the Bangalore-Mangalore train to Goa and introducing a new train from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal (CST), Mumbai to Mangalore, it was not included in the budget.

“As these two trains are long pending demands from people from coastal area, I would again pursue the matter with the Railway Minister”, he said.

Thanking the Railway Minister for including most of his requests in the Railway Budget, the Minister said this year the Karnataka has received maximum number of projects. To expedite them, the state government should take all steps to release funds at the earliest as per the cost sharing agreement between the Ministry of Railway and Karnataka government.

Reacting to the Union Budget, Moily said it was most forward looking with a focus on long term goals and not just looking at short term gains. Defending the hike in oil prices he said this was required in the interest to better health of oil companies as well as to improve the fiscal consolidation.

Increase of agriculture sector outlay by 25 per cent and establishment of 60,000 pulse and oil seeds villages will fuel a second green revolution in the country to overcome shortage of foodgrain, he said.

    Dear friends,

    Any voter condemning one politician and praising another is a fool himself because there is nothing very dissimilar between them. One can rarely find a politician who can stand up for his own proclaimed principles. Every politician has his/her own compulsions in politics and the real welfare of people is only secondary after own selfish interests are met.

    Mr.George Fernandes has implemented Konkan railway. All 4 states are benefited due to Konkan railway. He is a unsung hero. Matsyagandh exp should be re-named as George Fernandes exp.
    I am glad to know Mr. Moilys intention of extending Bangaore-Mangalore train upto KARWAR via UDUPI.WE COASTAL PEOPLE DESIRE THIS SINCE VERY LONG. He is successfully implemented many good/developmental projects . As a result he was made a cabinet minister at at Delhi.
    We hope Mr. Moily will be doing this very soon WITHOUT FAIL. we are proud if him.

    Mr Nagesh Prabhu, Udupi, you are paranoid and obviously do not know what you are talking or writing. The report is about Mr Moily's statement on persuading Railway Minister to extend Bangalore-Mangalore day train to Karwar via Udupi. Is it too much to expect that comments/reactions if any must be restricted to this and related issues and not what Mr Moily said a few days back. Political issues should be sorted out politically. Issues pertaining to infrastructure or development must be dealt with separately.

    Merely because someone's comments were not published in the past, does not mean Daijiworld and its Editors are biased. The bias, courage, fairness or objectivity and professionalism of any Editor cannot be judged or decided by publishing or not publishing reader's comments. It is better to grow up and remove all blinkers. Don't treat all issues as BJP versus Congress.

    Mr. Nagesh Prabhu - Udupi, Cursing someone shows one's depression and desperation. You are the only reader till now who has accused 'Daijiworld'. May be you are upset and jealous for their clean and unbiased news coverage. Mr. Prabhu, think good of others and good will come to you. God bless you...wish you a very happy Holi.

    Dear Mr. Veerappa Moilly, you speak to Railway Ms. Mamata Banerjee or congress chief Ms. Sonia Gandhi but please do some thing to start a new Train service beetween Bangalore-Mangalore - Karwar-Goa and also to start a new train between Mumbai CST to Mangalore Terminus. If these services start then we will beleive that you are realy concerned for the people of coastal area.

    Mr Nagesh Prabhu Udupi,Don't misguide the public my friend ! It was a response and casual briefing for Mr Ishwarappa's challenge bla.. bla..
    As far as mandate concerned for BJP govt,I suppose, all agree with me that it had no enough numbers and some are how with horse trading, succeeded in getting 6 independent MLA's support.Then again a manupulation and raping of demovcracy took place by OPERATION LOTUS .How can you say it is a manadate? Every body knows how these bye election was won???? money and musle power??

    Very unfortunate you are showing finger towards Daijiworld.It is not worth to comment on your comment.I don't understand what provoked or screwed to make such desperate comment......????

    Few days back moily said, if Sonia wants, she can dismiss Karnataka Government. I think , moily is a senseless Law minister. He should be very well aware of the fact that the Goverment is formed by BJP party which is voted to power democratically by People of Karnataka. Itis neither formed by Congress, nor Moily of Sonia. This shows how careless and irresponsible these congress leaders when they give some statement. They have taken voters for granted.

    And one final thing. Daijiworld editor does not have courage to publish my comments. Dear editor you are also no different than Moily. Any communal provocative statement from Muslim or Christian , you are the first one to Publish it

    You will not come up in your life

    Mr. Rajesh/Nagesh Mangalore/Bangalore for your kind information Mr. Moily is a representative from Karnataka and too belongs to our own district. There is absolutely nothing wrong in requesting for railway issues for our districts even though is a Law minister. Because of your negative thoughts and criticism attitude, ofcourse neighbour state representative would take advantange to snatch our faiclities. TRY TO MATURE NOW ATLEAST.

    I appreciate the concern of Mr. Moily is having on the people of Coastal Karnataka but he has to show the things done. Let him put pressure on Railway Minister and extend the Bangalore - Mangalore Train up to Karwar/Goa during 2010. Then only we can really appreciate him. Otherwise, we may say that he is only running the paper train to fool the Coastal people. Also, we require a train from Mangalore to Hyderabad so than Mangalore can be connected with Raichur, Gulburga, Davangere. This is lso very immortant route.

    Dear Moili, You are the one who spoke about toppling the BJP govt. & waiting for the green signal from your italian madamme. No body believes a person who is having criminal activities in mind. What you did during your cm tenure? nothing? You are a law minister & speak about railways? indian people are laughing at you since shashi tharror & smk are acting like a north & south pole. pawar & jairam ramesh always fight . didi & dada of wb are cribing each other. jai ho.

    Dear Moily Saab,
    It is great if you try and make it possible to start train from mangalore to bangalore. Only that work is just enough to show your capacity. But I believe that it is not at all possible for you even though you have capacity to do so. Because "somebody those who are against the Trains" are not allowing the train from Mangalore on full strength to Bangalore. all the MLAs and MPs of DK and Udupi dist, irresptective of PARTY are in the Pockets of that "Train Against" group. Do mean "Trainagainst" group.

    Moily is capable of doing great things.But you guys give him some more time.He has just become the union minister.Don't unnecessarily give comments like 'WHAT HE WILL DO'.etc.Some of you might have asked for a favour from him and he might have declined, that's the reason you are angry I assume.He is a leader of the masses not a leader of one community to which he belongs unlike others.

    Mr. Moily,
    Are you a Railway minister. Do your work as you are a Law minister. Don't jump to others buisiness. You have done nothing to this state when you were cheif Minister. Now you are suggesting State Govt.Don't fool arround by only talking. Our present state Govt. is first one to sign fund sharing agreement with Union home ministry to complete the ongoing Railway projects as soon as possible for the betterment of people. Do your job correctly then only advice or comment on others.

    Thank you Hon. Mr. V.Moily for taking up the issues that are out of your jurisdiction,in the interest of the people of your region. But please ensure that these are materialised before the expiry of the term of your government, so that you may always be remembered for your extra-judicial services.

    MR L.Saldhana Kanjar/Kuwait,I too had bit confusion when I have 2-3 comments.You have clarified good.Home ministry is resposible for the law and order problem of the coutry/state.

    Mr Veerappa Moily Marpady is belonging to genius class (CONG THINK TANK)politician.As some said he could have been done better for undivided DK,yes for certain extent.As a law & Justice affairs minister of union, he is doing good job bringing reforms in the judicial systems.He himself is a lawyer and he is perfectly doing justice to his ministry inicitiating unprecedented reforms to law and justice system.

    Coming to Railway issue,under his stewardship all MPs of Karnataka cutting party lines met and appraised Railway Ministry regarding injustice meted in all these years for Karnataka in the Railway matters.With Mr Muniyappa union deputy railway Minister,Mr Krishna,Union forign minister and Mr Karge L/Minister and Mr Rahman Khan Deputy Speaker L/S,beside Karnataka state Govt tried level best in bringing more Railway projects to Karnataka .

    Dear friends,

    I see that some people want to entrust Law & Order to Mr. Moily in addition to Law & Justice. Mr. Moily is in-charge of Law & Justice Systems for which he is working hard to bring about reforms. As for Law & Order, we have an efficient Minister in Mr. P. Chidambaram. So please don't confuse the two. It is unfortunate that the people of DK did not want to invest in the right seed for the right season and therefore they are responsible for the poor harvest. You know what I mean!!!!

    Satish, Viswa & Valson, you all are congratulating, calling him a gem & giving Kudos to Moily for what? Instead of doing his job of Law and order, he is doing the Railway issue. That too very late. Do not just fall for his talks. Let him first implement and improve the Law n order at all places. He is not the one do this job. But certainly, he is incharge of Law & Order and should see all concerned people abide by it.

    Mr. Moily, we have been listening to your assurances many a times on various issues, but to be honest i dont see anything productive. you assured that the new terminal would be opened sometime in 2009 and many other issues etc etc. I sincerly request you to show your words in action, rather than giving us nil assurances. Thank You.

    Veerappa Moily, Oscar Fernades etc are all useless congress leaders. They can do nothing. That is why they will not do anything. Thats is why they always loose elections in their own constituecies and have to win from elsewhere. Moily should take up issues regarding law & order. First do the job given to you. Muthalic is laughing at you cause cause he cannot do the job in his own ministry.
