The state government is responsible for the delay in the inauguration of Baiyappanahalli-KR.Pura Metro - MP Surya

MP Tejaswi Surya made a serious allegation that the state government is not opening the Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura stretch for public use despite getting all the permission from the CMRS.

Around 5.7 lakh people use Metro in Bengaluru everyday.

Around 50-60% of this number are set to benefit if Byappanahalli - KR Pura stretch opens. It will also attract new users. However, State Govt is not opening the stretch for public use, despite all clearances from CMRS. They are waiting for Rahul Gandhi to give time for this inauguration, while thousands are waiting helplessly.

Lakhs of people get down at SV Road or Byappanahalli and continue their journey to their workplace in the morning.

In the evening they catch a bus, auto, cab and reach Byappanahalli and then walk long distances to change Metro. This is a long and frustrating travel that is killing productivity and takes a toll on mental health.

The project is already late by 2 years. Without a single day additional delay we must open this line.

People of Bengaluru can’t wait endlessly for Rahul Gandhi to make time to open this.

I demand CM & DCM to open this stretch for public use immediately. They can do the official inauguration whenever Rahul Gandhi make their calendar free.
