As Kerala continues to seek funds to rebuild the state in the aftermath of the worst disaster it faced in a century, a proposed Rs 80 crore apartment complex for state legislators, has come under fire.
The proposed plan is to demolish an old building in the Legislators Complex located in the heart of the capital city and build a multi-storeyed housing complex in its place.
Senior Congress leader and former Kerala speaker V M Sudheeran said while there was no doubt that legislators should get facilities to improve their efficiency, the timing of going ahead with the multi-crore project was “shocking”.
