Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar says government is ready to consider good suggestions by Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw about projects in the state. Union Minister had slammed the state government for its failure on multiple fronts to develop railway infrastructure in Karnataka. Shivkumar: \”The BJP exists only to criticise. What other work do they have? We are fulfilling our responsibilities. Currently, roadwork is underway for 150 km, involving a budget of Rs 1,700 crore,\” he added. \”We have also planned a Rs 600 crore project to improve Bengaluru’s roads,\” he said. \”This is not the time for discussion. I am travelling to Kerala for a party event. After that, I have a meeting with ministers in Rajasthan, where I will be travelling with officials,\” Shivak Kumar said. He said funds for the Anna Bhagya rice scheme and Gruha Laxmi scheme have not been received for the past few months, but we will arrange for them. \”I have also discussed this with local MLAs to gather their opinions. Some projects are yet to receive work orders. We will fulfil our promises,\” the deputy chief minister said.
