Congress core committee member and senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala on Sunday opposed the attempts to cancel the north south corridor road project and described it as an exposure of the true anti-people face of the BJP Government.
In a statement issued here, Surjewala said that the Congress Government had approved a multi-dimensional north south corridor road plan to connect the north and south parts of Haryana in December, 2010, but the statement of BJP MP from Bhiwani has proven the ill designs of Narendra Modi led Central Government and Manohar Lal Khattar led Haryana Government to cancel this scheme.
The Congress party will not tolerate this anti Haryana step and injustice to the people of the state. The step will be opposed by tooth and nail with the active involvement of the people of the state, he added.
Surjewala, an MLA from Kaithal said that the north south corridor road plan would have connected the people of north and south Haryana. The work on the scheme was also started in the Congress government, but in the last five years, the Haryana government put that on hold by not taking much interest. It is shocking to note that the BJP led State Government has tried to sabotage this important scheme, which is beneficial to the entire state of Haryana, he said.
