CM shows elitist attitude in K-Rail: Satheesan
The Hindu
‘He has excluded the masses from outreach on project’
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan displays an elitist attitude in his “vain attempt” to drum up support for the K-Rail (SilverLine) project.
Instead of interacting with the masses, Mr. Vijayan had circumscribed his outreach to a set of corporate yes-men, Mr. Satheesan told reporters here on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister had rejected the Opposition’s demand for a special Assembly session to debate the proposal threadbare. He said the United Democratic Front (UDF) would go to the people to explain how the semi-high speed railway line would run the State to ruin.
