Who decided Toll Gate Price? Congress or BJP?
Wherever privately owned roads were developed, the federal government (then the United Progressive Alliance administration) had 20- to 30-year contracts that were ratified by the individual state governments, and the lands were secured to collect the revenue of those private corporations. In addition, if there are any difficulties or defects in the contract's collection, the concerned state governments must pay compensation. Did the parties and parties that served as ministers and members of parliament at the time notice anything? people must recognise political leaders who make flimsy comments that incite people to do nothing or appear to do nothing.
How can a road construction business that has borrowed billions from banks and signed contracts with the government break the legal agreement to collect the cost of building roads commercially in certain years, including interest on the loan, violate the legal agreement? Will the state government compensate the corporation for this breach? Will the state government be able to afford it? It is disgusting to claim that the parties who signed the agreement while in power did so without knowing the answers to the issues, and that they were captured and ousted after the opposition.
The National Highways Authority of india should declare more than 500 kilometres of various state highways in tamil Nadu as national highways and widen them. If the DMK's allies refuse to accept the government's demand, the party should say so. If that is the case, will the tamil Nadu government accept and maintain the existing national highways while suing the contractors for compensation?
