Umesh Jadhav says he tried to bring railway division to Kalaburagi

After Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav was slammed by his party [BJP] workers at the party intellectuals meeting here on Saturday, Dr. Jadhav, addressing a press conference on Sunday, tried to present a report card of development works taken up during his tenure as MP for the last four-and-a-half years.

Dr. Jadhav reiterated that he has made all efforts for the establishment of a railway division in Kalaburagi. Earlier, during the UPA government, the announcement to establish the railway division was made without a detailed feasibility study. However, a detailed study was conducted by the Railway Board but it was found not feasible to create a new division.

Dr. Jadhav said that he also met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari last week and submitted a memorandum explaining the necessity for a second ring road for the city and urged the Centre for giving approval to the long-pending demand.
