BENGALURU: Making accusations against the Karnataka government over the ambitious tunnel project that visualises reduction of travel time between Bengaluru's northern and southern parts, the state BJP stated on Monday that the tunnel road was being built not to ease traffic, but to please the real estate mafia.
The Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka claimed on Monday, "The real intention behind Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's so-called Bengaluru Tunnel Road is finally clear - not to ease traffic, but to please the real estate mafia."
"The Congress-led government in Karnataka has lifted Floor Space Index (FSI) limits and opened up Bengaluru’s most precious green and sensitive zones - Lalbagh, Race Course, Palace Grounds, and Hebbal - for commercial exploitation, " Ashoka alleged.
