Airport: action council lambasts Chandy


The Chief Minister’s recent statement that the government will go ahead with the proposed greenfield airport project at Aranmula is irresponsible as well as deceit of the people, Kummanam Rajashekharan, patron of the Thiruvaranmula Paithruaka Grama Karma Samiti (TPGKS), has said.
In a statement here on Friday, Mr. Rajashekharan said the proposed airport project was a private venture. It was the private company which was supposed to make such a statement and not the Chief Minister, he said. By making such an ‘‘irresponsible’’ statement, the Chief Minister had degraded himself as an agent of a private company that had violated all laws of the land, misleading even the Union Ministry of Environment and making a mockery of the State’s administrative machinery, Mr. Rajashekharan said.
Ironically, the Chief Minister had clarified that the government was committed to go ahead with the development projects initiated by the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. During the previous election campaign, the United Democratic Front (UDF) had propped up that the policies of the LDF government were ‘‘grossly anti-people’’ and that many a project launched by the latter would be cancelled, if it came to power, he alleged.
