Amid the Tamil Nadu government feeling snubbed after the union government rejected the state’s tableau for the Republic Day parade, came another blow from union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari who complained that they were facing several bottlenecks to move projects in the state.
On Monday, chief minister MK Stalin responded to him taking a defensive position that many of the current issues causing project delays are from the past decade during the AIADMK’s regime but he assured to cooperate.
Gadkari was speaking at The Hindu’s Business Line Countdown to Budget 2022 last week when he said, “my problem is with Tamil Nadu” and sought the state’s cooperation making a comparison with Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan whom he said was proactive despite some issues.
