According to the West Bengal Chief Minister, what is the state's railway budget allocation for 2026-27?
- A.Rs 4,380 crore
- B.Rs 7,500 crore
- C.Rs 14,205 crore
- D.Rs 75,000 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 14,205 crore. Chief Minister Shri Suvendu Adhikari, speaking at the flagging-off ceremony, said the annual average railway allocation for West Bengal during the years from 2009 to 2014 was Rs 4,380 crore, and that it has risen to the figure in option C for the current year. He added that the larger investment would help develop railway infrastructure and improve connectivity in the state. Option A is the earlier annual average for West Bengal, not the present allocation, so it is wrong. Option B is wrong because that figure is Jharkhand's railway allocation, which has grown from Rs 450 crore. Option D is wrong as well: it is the approximate value of railway projects under way in Jharkhand, not an annual allocation for West Bengal.
