BPL has a very strong reason for better connectivity, as it is capital of a large state, many people from far off regions need a atleast daily overnight or day time intercity connection depending upon the distance and traffic, so that they can conveniently travel to state capital for various business/ govt related work.

IND too should get high priority for direct connections to various parts of MP as well as major regions/ cities of India outside MP. Actually very poor connectivity (trains) actually exists. Since there are no passing trains through...

IND (unlike JBP) a large number of originating trains are required. On the other hand more and more originating trains of MP had been introduced from JBP (being WCR-HQ) rather than from IND in spite of the fact that its revenue(JBP's) is very low as compared to the number of trains that originate from here. Once more trains are introduced from BPL/IND its revenue shall see a quantum jump as BPL/IND is growing at much higher rate than JBP.

JBP used to be capital of huge Central province which included Vidarbha region and was one of the most prominent cities of Central India. But after formation of MP state with BPL as capital during reorganisation of states, BPL a relatively smaller city grew leap and bounds overtaking JBP by wide margin. On the other hand the previously pampered JBP was left high & dry and left with high court. That too wad diluted after benches were opened at IND & Gwalior.
-
But in Railway matters JBP undoubtedly is the most pampered city of MP.
Population of- IND/ BPL/ JBP/ GWL urban agglomerations in lacs
2011 census - 21.7/ 18.9/ 12.7/ 11.2 Population in lacs 2011
2001 census-15.1/ 14.6/ 11/ 8.7 Population in lacs 2001
Growth (lacs)-6.6/4.3/1.7/2.5 Population added in 10 years 2001-11
Growth (in%) -44%/29%/15%/29% decadal population 2001-11
Above data shows population Indore had grown at the rate of 44%, BPL-29%, & JBP only 15% in a10 yrs. So IND is getting maximum migrant population and deserves more new trains to take care of the travelling requirements of migrants/ burgeoning population.
