THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: At the concluding ceremony of the Vijaya Yathra led by BJP state president K Surendran, Metroman E Sreedharan came to the stage to greet Union Home Minister Amit Shah with a shawl. However, at the last moment, the Home Minister took the shawl from Sreedharan and puts it on the retired engineer which was warmly applauded by the gathering. At the beginning of his speech, Amit Shah did not forget to mention the contribution made by E Sreedharan to the country.

Amit Shah said that E Sreedharan started his career as an engineer and teacher and later implemented many development projects in the country. He submitted various projects to the country in a transparent and timely manner. E Sreedharan is known as the Metroman for overseeing the construction of the Delhi Metro. But Amit Shah said the construction of the Konkan Railway was another project that proved his mettle.

Amit Shah said that he salutes Sreedharan for the enthusiasm he shows for working for the country at this age. Amit Shah said it is happy to see Metroman, who has done a lot of construction work for the country, recognize that the need for the country was the Bharatiya Janata Party.
