HUBLI: Revenue and District incharge Minister Jagadish Shettar has alleged that former Chief Minister N Dharam Singh was responsible for non-inclusion of Hubli-Dharwad under multi-crore Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renovation Mission.
He was speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, after inaugurating the overbridge constructed across Nigari lake on Hubli-Bijapur National Highway here on Tuesday.
He said that Singh had included Mysore, Hassan and Gulbarga, besides Hubli-Dharwad and Bangalore ignoring the norms of JNNURM, which made Centre consider only Bangalore and Mysore.
“Congress activists in twin cities should burn the effigy of Singh, not that of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and other ministers in coalition Government who were in no way responsible for the non-inclusion of twin cities under JNNURM,” he said.
Calling upon Congress activists not to play ‘political’ cards in developmental works, Shettar said that Congress activists in City should deviate themseleves from ‘petty-politics,’ instead exert pressure on Congress-led UPA Government at Centre to see that JNNURM scheme was sanctioned to Hubli-Dharwad.
He disclosed that the State Government had written to Union Urban Development Ministry seeking inclusion of twin cities under Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) in November itself, but till date no reply was received from the Ministry.
Member of Parliament Prahlad Joshi, Lingaraj Angadi and others were present on the occasion.
