Now, it's the turn for highlighting the achievements of the Central government wrt Coimbatore,

1. Delay in executing the airport expansion
2. Delaying the redevelopment of Coimbatore Junction
3. Delaying the approval of Kovai - Karur highway
4. Delaying the MMLP tender...(1/n) 5. Delaying the approval of Eastern ring rd
6. Delaying the approval of Sathyamangalam highway
7. Delay in solving the deadlock in expansion of L&T bypass + flyovers at intersections
8. Delaying the Sulur Air Force Station expansion
9. Shelving bypasses for Mettupalayam...(2/n)

Here is a thread on the achievements of the Tamil Nadu government wrt Coimbatore in the past 3 years,

1. Successfully stalled the Vellalore IBT
2. Haven't approved the Metro DPR
3. Haven't transferred the land for Airport expansion
4. Delaying the Pilloor 3 scheme...(1/n) 5. Delaying the Athikadavu - Avinashi scheme
6. Delaying the ELCOT IT building
7. Delaying the proposed Neelambur IT park
8. Cancelled the ELCOT SEZ expansion tender
9. Delaying the Varapatti Defence Park
10. Delaying the Annur Industrial Park...(2/n)

Here's an example for the hypocritical attitude of the Tamil Nadu government where it's opposing the privatisation of the Coimbatore Airport & is delaying the land transfer to AAI. At the same time, investments from such firms are being approved as well.

Pathetic!!!

#Kovai Context:
TN government hasn't transferred the acquired lands to AAI citing the privatisation issue & has granted permission for AAI to start the works on the acquired land without transferring it to a third party with T&Cs to be formulated later.
