Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday blamed the Centre for delays in construction of the proposed greenfield airport in Kota.He also accused Lok Sabha Speaker and local MP Om Birla of not playing a positive role for the airport’s development for fear of the credit going to the state’s Congress government.
Gehlot on Thursday inspected the site of the proposed Kota greenfield airport in Shambupura village of Bundi district and discussed the progress of the work with officials.
Claiming that the state government is committed to building the airport, Gehlot said the Urban Improvement Trust (Kota) transferred 34 hectares to the Airports Authority of India for free.
