Chandy sabotaged Sabari rail project: Muraleedharan

Kottayam: BJP state president V. Muraleedharan has alleged that Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Finance Minister K.M. Mani and Transport Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan had sabotaged the Sabari rail project. He told reporters after the state leadership meet of the BJP here, “Mr Chandy is responsible for sabotaging the Sabari rail project in his own district of Kottayam. Chandy, K.M. Mani and Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility in sabotaging the project,” he alleged.

“The Chandy government is demanding to raise the status of Sabarimala as a national pilgrimage centre to hide their lapses in providing infrastructural facilities at Sabarimala,” he added.

Though the Sabraimala pilgrimage was deeply connected with the development of the state, the government had failed in developing Sabarimala, he alleged. The meeting to evaluate the preparations at Sabarimala was also convened very late, he added.
