THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: DYFI state secretary AA Rahim said that the first Pinarayi government took effective action to speed up the construction of the Kuthiran tunnel. The second Pinarayi government pursued the same interest. The initiative of the state government is important to bring the central projects to Kerala. The will of the government is also important to complete the projects on time. Rahim also wrote on Facebook that central projects do not come and gets completed naturally.
The Chief Minister himself attended the high level meeting directly. The minister called a series of high-level meetings. It was these constructive interventions that made it possible to open a tunnel a day before it was scheduled. I heard the Union Minister say that it is a Union project and only they have the right to open it. That was unwanted bragging. Minister PA Mohammad Riyaz's stand that he is going to argue regarding the tunnel was an exemplary one, Rahim said his Facebook post.
