Bengaluru: Transport Minister and BTM Layout MLA Ramalinga Reddy said the previous BJP government diverted Rs 30 crore meant to lay a new road between Ejipura (Inner Ring Road) to Agara Lake (Sarjapur Main Road).
Part of the Revised Master Plan (RMP) 2015, he said the funds were earmarked for the project as it would have provided vital infrastructure between Old Madras Road (Indiranagar) and Outer Ring Road.
The project was first delayed as it required defence land and then went into cold storage after the grants were withdrawn in March this year.
