A day after former Minister and BJP MLA representing Krishnaraja Assembly constituency S.A. Ramdas took on party’s Mysuru MP Pratap Simha, it was the turn of BJP’s Chamaraja MLA L. Nagendra to raise questions on the repair of the roads that will be dug up for implementing the Central Government project, backed by the MP, to lay a pipeline for supplying cooking gas to houses.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Mr. Nagendra said the roads in the city, including the ones coming under his constituency, had been repaired at a cost of ₹300 to 400 crore over the last 3-4 years. But, the company executing the project is reportedly paying only ₹99 crore after digging up about 500 km of the road to lay the gas pipeline. “Who will bear the remaining among for repair of the roads”, he questioned.
