Congress Govt has no answer to these significant questions on the Tunnel Road Project. Apart from indulging in personal attacks against me, it is yet to provide clarification on these critical issues. * Most commuters, especially two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws, are restricted from using the tunnel road. If a majority of the users are barred from using a road made with the help of taxpayers' money, isn't it economic discrimination? * According to IISc studies, the tunnel can carry only 1,800 people per hour per direction, while a metro line on the same route can move 40x the number of people per hour per direction. Isn't it common sense to invest in a project that moves more people than vehicles? * The DPR itself states that the Tunnel Road would create 22 new choke points which will aggravate the existing traffic congestion. Yet, how is it that the Congress Govt is silent on this? * By 2031, the tunnel road is projected to save only 12 minutes and by 2041, just 14 minutes. While the number of vehicles are growing daily in number, how is it that the time saved is increasing? How will the tunnel road make a real difference for commuters in Bengaluru? * Shockingly, ₹7,500 crore has been earmarked as Viability Gap Funding for the project. This cost is comparable to the entire 19 km Yellow Line from RV Road to Bommasandra built at a cost of Rs 7,610 crore. While the entire Yellow Line is catering to about 80-90,000 passengers, the Tunnel Road is VIP-only. The Tunnel Road saga shows how public money is being misused in the garb of easing traffic. This disaster must be stopped.
