Cong., BJP accuse govt. unleashing police on protesters
Scenes of protest and resistance against K-rail (Silverline) played out across Kerala for the second straight day on Tuesday.
The latest surge of protests seemed to suggest that the “bitterness” against the acquisition of private land and homes for the estimated ₹64,000 crore semi-high-speed railway project would peak in the coming days.
For one, the demonstrations have pitted the CPI(M) against the Congress and the BJP on the frontlines of the rapidly unfolding socio-political battle over the indispensability of the project to Kerala's development.
Nattassery, Madapally and Kuzhiyilapadi in Kottayam, Chottanikara in Ernakulam, Thirunavaya in Malappuram and Chengannur in Alappuzha remained the hotspots of the anti-SilverLine protests for the second consecutive day.
In Kottayam, Congress leader Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, MLA, led the resistance against the government’s bid to set the alignment of SilverLine by placing concrete markers on private land amid strident local opposition.
In Changanassery, Left Democratic Front convener A. Vijayaraghavan chaired a meeting to persuade local people to support K-Rail.
