Share of new trains: Maharashtra gets the lion's share

Railway ministers have traditionally tried to please their constituencies or home states while announcing new trains. While Gulbarga, Union Railways Minister Mallikarjun Kharge's constituency in Karnataka, got an inter-city express to Hyderabad, it is Maharashtra which got the lion's share of new trains (19/55) that would originate or terminate in the state, followed by Uttar Pradesh (14/55) and West Bengal (10/55)
