I cannot satisfy all of you: Mamata

New Delhi, Feb 24 : Railway minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday announced several new trains to West Bengal, among several other sops for the state.
Opposition MPs protested and that she was ignoring other parts of the country.

"I cannot satisfy all of you," thundered Didi to the protesting MPs.

Banerjee promised 54 new trains in 2011 and read out the list of trains to be introduced all over the country.

In West Bengal, the minister promised new trains and tracks in the Dankuni-Kharagpur, Katwa-Ramnagar, Phulbahari-Behrampur, Hasnabad-Pratapadityanagar and Haldibari-Mekhgunj-Changrabanda routes.

She also proposed a new line in the Digha-Ballychowk route.

Mamata announced large scale expansion of the Kolkata Metro, which would be done on a priority basis. Several existing metro stations would also be renamed.
New coach factories would be built in Kharagpur and Kanchrapara in West Bengal.

A coach repair centre would be built at New Jalpaiguri.

A cold storage would also be built in the state's Budgebudge as part of the Kisan Vision programme.

With a clear reference to the Singur incident, Mamata said the railways would not forcibly acquire land. She assured jobs in the railways for one member of each family who give their land to the railways.

Didi also proposed the setting up of a Rabindra Museum in Howrah and a Gitanjali Museum in Bolpur.
