V. Narayanasamy accused the government of failing to implement schemes that were announced, and of hiding behind the Model Code of Conduct
Former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy has said that the All India N R Congress-led NDA was trying to hide its failure to implement schemes by citing the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
In a virtual statement issued to the media on Monday night, the senior Congress leader said the MCC was not a hindrance to implement already-announced schemes. “The CM has failed to implement any of the schemes announced in the Assembly. He has announced several schemes in the house without getting an actual picture of the financial situation. The UT is facing severe funds crunch. The officials are not cooperating, so the administration has come to a standstill,” he said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
