The Chennai-Salem 8-lane expressway has been of much controversy in the state of Tamil Nadu. Farmers, activists and the opposition in the state have been slamming the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government over the past month on the implementation of this project.
Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth on Sunday came out in support of the highway project while speaking to the media outside his poes garden residence.
"Projects like the 8-lane highway are necessary for development," said Rajinikanth. "Employment opportunities will increase. People will have losses but the right kind of compensation needs to be given so that the people are satisfied. It should be done in a way that farming lands are not affected as much as possible," Rajinikanth added.
"You can't eat the cake and have it to. You can't implement the project without taking away land of the farmers," said A Saravanan of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).
Rajinikanth also spoke on many other issues, including the one nation one poll and supported the central government on the idea, which says it will save time and money
