The campaign for the Lok Sabha election in Tiruchi has largely centred around some of the major infrastructure requirements that the city has been aspiring for more than a couple of decades now.
Some of the issues such as the expansion of the Tiruchi airport runway, laying of service lanes along Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway, and the completion of semi-ring road around the city, have been in the forefront in successive elections in recent years. This election is no exception to this with the candidates continuing to promise steps to address them.
“The issues largely remain the same and so are the promises of the candidates. But the aspirations of the people remain unfulfilled,” says S. Rajendran, a resident of Woraiyur.
