KOCHI: ‘Metro Man’ E Sreedharan on Monday accused the Kerala government of sabotaging the Nilambur-Nanjangud railway line, saying that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan failed to mention the nod granted to the project by the Centre and Karnataka, during his meeting with Karnataka counterpart Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday..
“Kerala sabotaged the project to push for the CM’s favourite Thalassery-Mysuru line,” alleged the former MD of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), while terming the latter project “unviable” Sreedharan’s remarks came a day after Karnataka rejected three railway projects — Nilambur-Nanjangud, Thalassery-Mysuru and Kanhangad-Kaniyur — proposed by Kerala.
