THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V D Satheeshan said that the strike against K-Rail is a protest of the people and if the government tries to suppress it, then the fate of CPM in Kerala will be similar to that of CPM in Nandigram. Satheesan said that they are with the people.

Based on the study made by the committee after consultation with experts and detailed discussions, UDF has raised four important issues. The disadvantages of this project are its environmental impact, technical problems, impact on the people and corruption. E Sreedharan and the Union Railway Minister have earlier mentioned these.

Regular discussions were held with engineering, energy and railway experts. There is no other political party in Kerala that has done such studies and then went on for a strike. DPR is a false data. We will pull out all survey stones. V D Satheesan said that he will not give in to the arrogance of the Chief Minister.
