Metro man E Sreedharan endorses Modi

“It is easy for us to start the project of high speed trains because we just have to borrow the technology,” Sreedharan said.

Sreedharan also praised Dikshit and her government for “unstinting support” to the Delhi Metro project.  

“We were fortunate that we had Shiela Dikshit as CM. We had no difficulty whether in terms of money or land or anything else,” he said, adding, he hoped she will now be able to give her support as Kerala Governor to the Kochi Metro project.

Regarding the last mile connectivity problems in the city and the uncertain future of Monorail, Sreedharan was of the view that the Monorail is inevitable and that more and more trains need to be brought.

“Increasing the coaches will not solve the problem. We have to expand the network”, he said.
