UDF MPs fasting in front of Palakkad Division Office
MP VK Sreekanthan says that Karnataka lobby is behind division of Palakkatrailwe division. BJP's aim is to destroy the development of Palakkad and Kerala by dividing the Palakkad Railway Division. MP VK Sreekanthan said in a press conference that there will be a strong agitation inside and outside the Parliament against the division of the Railway Division without any warnings or discussions. Railway Minister Ashwani Vaishnav denied the demand to split the Palakkad railway division 2 years ago. Splitting the Palakkad division, South India's highest income earner, is the BJP's ploy to gain from Karnataka in the upcoming elections. Mangalore, which is part of Palakkad division, is divided and added to Mysore, which will adversely affect the future development in Kerala. The addition of Mangalore to the Mysore division, which runs the 83 long-distance train service, is a cause for concern for residents and commuters. The Center ignores Kerala by saying that Kerala is not cooperating. But even though Kerala gave 213 acres of land for the coach factory years ago, the land is still lying fallow. The Center is also rejecting the demand to start any other industrial establishment. It was decided to divide the Palakkad railway division without any discussion with the MP or the state. This is the political bankruptcy of the central government. MP vk Sreekanthan said that there will be a strong agitation against the central government's decision
