HUBLI: Jawaharlal Nehru National Renovation Mission and the Kalasa-Banduri Project Implementation Action Committee has criticised Revenue Minister Jagadish Shettar for not putting sincere efforts to include Hubli-Dharwad under JNNURM.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Anilkumar Patil, president of the committee said Minister Shettar had issued ‘confusing statement’ on JNNURM on Sunday by saying that the State Government had urged the Union Minister for Urban Development Jaipal Reddy to include twin cities under Jawaharlal Nehru National Renovation Mission.
Earlier, the same minister had clearly stated that inclusion of Hubli-Dharwad under the programme was a ‘closed chapter,’ as it was not possible for the state government to recommend third city for inclusion in addition to Bangalore and Mysore citing the norms of the programme, he added.
He said it was proved that the coalition government in the state was not committed to develop the twin cities, so the committee would lead a delegation to New Delhi to pressurise the Central Government in this regard, he said.
