A popular leader from North Karnataka and four-time MP of Belagavi, Suresh Angadi, who took over as Minister of State for Railways in the Modi cabinet has slammed the Karnataka government for several railway projects failing to take off in the state.
According to him, several projects, including the Bengaluru sub-urban rail system, would have been executed smoothly had the state government cooperated with the Centre. “Several initiatives taken by the Centre to develop Karnataka’s rail network met with failure during the first term of the Modi government,” he said.
