Govt. neglecting works in Hassan: Revanna
The Hindu
Former Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna has alleged that the BJP government neglected the development works of Hassan, sanctioned during the rule of the JD(S)-Congress coalition.
Speaking at a press conference in Hassan on Friday, Mr. Revanna said the government took more than one-and-a-half years to allocate ₹175 crore for Hassan airport. “If the JD(S)-Congress government had continued for 15 days more, the tender process would have been completed by then. The BJP took a long time to allocate funds for the project, which was at the tender floating stage”, he said.
