THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Having drawn flak earlier for not discussing its ambitious SilverLine semi high-speed railway project in the assembly, the state government on Monday sought to catch the Opposition off guard, conceding to its demand for a debate by halting the proceedings of the House.
However, the Opposition cornered the government alleging data fudging in DPR, a charge that went unaddressed in the chief minister’s reply. Unscathed by the criticism, Pinarayi Vijayan reasserted his government’s resolve to go ahead with the project.
