Summary:
Lucknow, Nov 24 (PTI) On a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for Noida International Airport, BSP supremo Mayawati on Thursday said such a step at the time of elections has created doubt about the "intention and policy" of the government.
She also said the previous Uttar Pradesh government under her regime had given new dimension to development with Taj International Airport and Ganga Expressway, but the then Congress government at the Centre created obstacles.
"The BSP government had given new dimension to employment and development in Uttar Pradesh through projects like Taj International Airport and aviation hub in Jewar area of ??Gautam Budh Nagar and 8-lane Ganga Expressway from Noida to Ballia.
But despite all the preparations, the Congress government did not cooperate," Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi.
"The foundation stone of these ambitious schemes (Noida airport at Jewar) has been laid almost a decade after the tenure of the SP and the BJP government, whereas such development work should have been completed on time.
But now it is natural to doubt the intention and policy of the government when its foundation is laid at the time of elections,” she said in another tweet.
