The Kerala assembly on Monday witnessed a three-hour intense discussion on the proposed high-speed K-Rail project, with the state government insisting that it will go ahead with the plan.
The government agreed to a discussion on an adjournment motion in the House, after which Speaker M B Rajesh allotted two hours for it.
While the Opposition raised issues like cost, environmental impact, social impact study, mass displacement and other details, the government relied merely on developmental rhetoric to reply to the opposition. Later, replying to criticism, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the government will go ahead with the project come what may.
