DMK leader M. Karunanidhi on Monday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving the extension of corridor I of the first phase of Metro Rail in Chennai, saying that he was happy as the project was launched during the erstwhile DMK regime.
In a statement here, Mr. Karunanidhi said the AIADMK government and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa actually favoured the mono rail project, but gave it up after realising that it would not be feasible.
“Now, in her letter to the Prime Minister, she has taken credit for a scheme planned by the DMK government,” Mr. Karunanidhi said.
