Tharoor toes UDF line on SilverLine
The Hindu
Says Vande Bharat trains will make K-Rail redundant
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, MP, appears to have endorsed the United Democratic Front (UDF)'s official line that the Centre's budgetary allocation for 400 modern Vande Bharat trains has rendered the Left Democratic Front (LDF)'s flagship K-Rail (SilverLine) semi-high-speed rail project redundant.
In a tweet, Mr. Tharoor said: “Bringing #VandeBharat trains to Kerala could address @vijayanpinarayi’s concern for speedy train travel to promote development, & alleviate @INCKerala’s concerns about land acquisition & environmental impact. GOI & GOK should discuss a win-win outcome in the interests of the state.”
