PDR responded to Modi! Pay for the metro project and talk!

Narendra Modi has consistently avoided meeting the press during his decade-long tenure as Prime Minister. He spoke to the people through recorded video and recorded audio. Or used to blare in public meetings, government functions.

Despite constant criticism of Modi as a prime minister who does not meet journalists, he did not dare to meet any journalist.

Currently, as the elections are approaching, he is giving interviews to some television media. Most of the interviews are not critical of Modi. He is using this as an election campaign. It is also a recorded and telecast event, not live.

In that way, he made some controversial comments in an interview given to a private television.

There is no fare for women to travel in city buses operated by the Tamil Nadu government. This project, which is getting good response among the people, has also been started in the states of Karnataka and Telangana.

Speaking in this regard, Prime Minister Modi said in the interview, “Some political parties offer free bus travel scheme for women. Due to this, the number of passengers in metro trains is falling. Also, due to the free bus travel scheme, the traffic is increasing and the environment is also affected,” he said.

Modi’s comment is again facing negative criticism. Tamil Nadu IT Minister PDR Palanivel Thiagarajan responded to Modi on his Twitter page.

It said, “This is a travesty. The clowns each compete to see who comes out on top. And this scene explains why the Prime Minister has not met the press for the last 10 years. And the Court Jesters out there, if they were acting as journalists, logically should have immediately raised some questions.

The first question is, is there such a place? Is there a place with only metro service and no bus services? In terms of public transport, are there no concessions for students, senior citizens, monthly bus etc.? Does bus service affect metro rail service? Should have asked.

Why Chennai Metro phase 2 work (new route) has been shelved for many years in the central cabinet without giving approval for funding?.

Meanwhile, funding has been provided for metro project notifications / approvals for other cities after Chennai Metro. Will this slow down the Chennai Metro work? While in the metro one cannot go where they need to go? He has responded by criticizing that it may be pointing out that.
