Prasad was disappointed with 12 non-stop trains passing through Patna and allocation of just Rs 20 crore for Kosi railway bridge against the proposed Rs 341 crore.
Bihar got only four new trains when there was a proposal to start 18 new trains from the state in the interim budget, Prasad said.
On the proposed double-decker trains, the former railway minister said the announcement was unrealistic. "How will these trains run? All the bridges and tunnels will have to be demolished and built afresh to allow the double-decker trains to run."
The Minister should specify routes of the double-decker trains before making such announcements, Prasad said.
