Speaking to reporters here on January 29, Tuesday, he blamed the Congress for the delay in the project and claimed that the recommendation to change the plan of the Pumpwell flyover  during the tenure of  J R Lobo as MLA and Oscar as Union  Minister  had caused further delay.

Congress leaders who are in the race for a Lok Sabha ticket  are making this an issue now that elections are nearing, he alleged.

Defending party MP Nalin Kumar Kateel,  he said  the MP has tried his level best to expedite the project by even meeting the Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.

He challenged the Congress to highlight at least one  successful NH project during UPA rule.
