Road laying work finally starts in Coimbatore; Minister Senthil Balaji inaugurates road work worth Rs. 26 crore near 80 ft Road in Ramanathapuram

Inaugurating various road works in Coimbatore city, Minister Senthil Balaji said the BJP leader is a political buffoon and asked journalists not to ask questions related to him in serious govt functions.


Coimbatore: Electricity Minister Senthil Balaji inaugurated the renovation works of roads at various places in Coimbatore city. He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating the renovation work of the 80 feet road near Ramanathapuram.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister Senthil Balaji said that “the work of repairing the damaged roads in Coimbatore city is in progress. Road works worth Rs.44 crore have been completed.

Construction of new roads at 6 places at a cost of Rs.26 crore has been taken up. The construction of the road at a cost of Rs 140 crore is being carried out on behalf of the Highways Department.

Out of a total of Rs 210 crore fund, 117 km has been covered. Road works are in progress. Most of the road works have been completed. The roads that were left out will be renovated by March. Roads were not laid in the last regime for many years.

So the roads have been damaged. It is not necessary that road works should not be done during the north-east monsoon season. It doesn't rain every day. The work can be done only after the funds come and the tender is over. When it rains, the road construction work will not take place.”

Talking about the bandh announced by the BJP, he said, "How can BJP district office bearers announce a bandh without the knowledge of the party leadership? If he is the right leader of the party, he should have asked why the bandh was announced without consent.

It is not proper to say that he is not involved in this in court. A decision has to be reached within the party. The BJP state president is a political buffoon. Don't ask me questions related to the political clown.

How can the district functionaries say bandh without the knowledge of the party leadership? What should the party president do? He should have spoken to the party functionaries and told them that the bandh should be cancelled. We have to serve the people to develop a movement.

I take personal attacks on myself to improve myself even more. It is not acceptable for the Governor to talk politics at a college function. The Governor has all the powers.

The governor has claimed that the DGP could have called the chief secretary and recommended an NIA probe into the Coimbatore car blast after four days. He should know and not speak politics in a college.

The Coimbatore police handled the case very efficiently. How many days has Vanathi Srinivasan, who has been in Delhi for months, been in the constituency? Vanathi did not come to the event in her constituency. Let the BJP solve the problem between them.

Steps have been taken to bring the area under control after the car explosion and ensure that people lead a peaceful life. The entrepreneurs complimented the Chief Minister for taking swift action in the matter. It will not work for the BJP to try to gain political mileage out of this.

The corporation administration will take a decision regarding Vellalore bus stand after seeking public opinion.”
