Congress criticises Sukhbir on Metro Rail project
Jalandhar, Aug 4 (UNI) Criticising the statements made by SAD (Badal) acting president Sukhbir Badal about running Metro Rail in major cities, Leader of Opposition Mrs Rajinder Kaur Bhattal said here today that Metro Rail project was actually forwarded to Centre by previous Congress government.
Mrs Bhattal told mediapersons that Sukhbir Badal was only selling dreams to the people for getting votes in the corporation elections to be held on August 8.
''Did he know how much a Metro Rail cost,'' she asked adding that ''only survey and other formalities take nearly five to seven years to complete.'' ''Due to poor financial condition, state employees are not even getting salaries on time. They don't have money to pay to the power boards, then from where, will they get the money for state share in Metro Rail projects,'' she asked.
