Adhir to Mamata: Clarify stand on support to NDA

Mamatas popularity is waning rapidly. Only time will tell who will come here, said Chowdhury,a Congress strongman in West Bengal.

The minister said he has found that almost all rail projects announced for Bengal in the last three years have made little perceptible progress because the state government is not doing its bit.

In spite of huge fund infusion,no progress has been made in the projects yet, Chowdhury added.

These projects were announced without feasibility study and statutory clearances,he alleged,adding that they were announced for the sake of announcement without proper planning.

Asked whether the projects will be dropped by the government now,Chowdhury said,Though Railways is facing a severe financial crunch,we are not for scrapping these projects. There is no question of discrimination against any projects. We want the execution of these projects.
