Continuing his opposition to the proposed Tunnel Road Project, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday argued that instead of spending ₹43,000 crore on the tunnel road that would only help car owners to move within a small corridor, the government could judiciously use these funds to set up over 300 km of metro network and implementation of another 314 km of suburban rail project so that 70% of Bengaluru’s population would use public transport.

After being repeatedly disrupted for three consecutive days over issues ranging from the Governor’s address and alleged disrespect to the national anthem to demands for the resignation of the Excise Minister, among others, normalcy finally returned to the Legislative Council on Friday, with proceedings commencing.
