Rofl, you talking about connecting Assam with your southern part na? They will get short path?
I am asking how much your southern railway even connecting with your northern part? And are they electrified? And how much time you required from railway to reach from your southern part to northern part?
Padma bridge will be built within the next 4 years with internal BD funding. This will allow easy and quick access to the Mongla port from Northern BD as it incorporate a railway.
BD's growing economy is now strong enough to internally finance billion dollar infrastructure projects.
1.Bihar is the richest state in India. Iron ore and coal. It also has huge number of engineers and technically qualified people - perhaps larger than any other state. It suffers because of bad politics and dirty politicians. People in the eastern districts of Bihar speak Bangla. Many are Bengalees. Huge Muslim population.
2. Historically our western limits include Orissa, Chatisgarh and Jharkhand. Our hero and emperor Sher Shah had Sasaram as his Capital. He is buried there.Patna and Purnia were important holdings of Alivardi Khan and Shahid Sirajuddala. All these had formed the Bengal Presidency under the colonial British.
Bihar has 80% Hindu majority.
By including Bihar, BD would become a majority Hindu state. I think it would be best to limit expansion that BD retains a Muslim majority.
