THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC president K Sudhakaran, on Thursday, accused the media of misreporting his reaction on K-Rail project by saying that he had never softened his stand on the project. K-Rail is an unacceptable project on several counts and finance minister KN Balagopal should stop making false claims about Centre's in-principle clearance for the project.
On Wednesday, Sudhakaran told reporters in Delhi that Congress was not against the K-Rail project and was ready to support it if the government cleared public concerns and proved that the project is beneficial to Kerala. "It's unfortunate that the media projected certain portions of my reaction, creating an impression that I took a U-turn. This is not right. I only said that Congress is not against the semi high-speed rail project. It doesn't mean that I have changed my stand. The studies commissioned by KPCC have proved that K-Rail is unrealistic and unviable. State government should stop making false claims," he told reporters in Delhi.
