MLA defends Aranmula airport project


Aranmula MLA K. Sivadasan Nair has said that he has been supporting the proposed Aranmula airport project considering its development potential for the region.
In a statement here on Friday, the legislator refuted the contention that the airport project would bring doom to Aranmula and said that he could not understand the logic behind the clamour against the project. He decried the Communist Party of India (CPI) district secretary’s denigration of the people’s representatives who were supporting the project. The people of Aranmula were aware what stand the party and the secretary would have taken had the party been in power, he said.
Call to make stand clear
The Congress lawmaker asked the CPI to make its stand clear on the former Industries Minister Elamaram Karim’s statement that the project had been cleared by the previous Left Democratic Front government. He said that a vast expanse of the paddy field had been converted in Aranmula while the CPI was at the helm of affairs in the departments of agriculture and revenue.
Being the people’s representative, it was his responsibility to implement the proposed airport project in compliance with the laws of the land, the MLA said asserting that no one could prevent him from doing so by hurling baseless allegations.
