Commenting on the project, Speaker P. Dhanapal of Avinashi Constituency said "This is a sixty year old struggle. Before the 2016 elections, Former CM Jayalalitha asked me to contest from Avinashi. She assured me of implementing the Avinashi-Athikadavu project and asked me to apprise the people with confidence. After we won, as promised 'Amma' approved the project".
"A new project proposal was designed by CM, Edapadi K Palanisamy, after holding several discussions with the committee . The entire Rs.1652 crore required for the project was taken up by the State government. In 2019 budget, Rs.1000 crore was alloted by the CM which is a huge step in realising the project.
A project which was only a dream was brought to reality by the CM. All the Ministers from Kongu region have played a notable role in accomplishing the project".
He also added that the solar power plant installed at a cost of Rs. 60 crore for generating electricity needed for the project was also approved by the CM.
