Thiruvananthapuram: BJP Kerala chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday said the Outer Ring Road (ORR) project will be a decisive turning point in the development of Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital.
This project is essential to fully realise and harness the immense potential of the Vizhinjam International Seaport project, and more than 6,500 families awaiting compensation would soon get relief with its progress, he said in a Facebook post.
Chandrasekhar’s remarks came a day after he announced Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari’s confirmation that the Thiruvananthapuram Outer Ring Road project would receive the Centre’s approval by February or March this year.
This will facilitate compensation to landowners affected by the land acquisition necessary for the project’s development.
The BJP leader emphasized that such projects showcase performance-driven politics, advocating for the BJP-led NDA government to foster infrastructure growth and keep promises, contrasting it with the Congress-led UDF and CPI(M)-headed LDF policies that he claims hinder progress.
