Social media campaign to clear doubts on project: CM

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the state government has launched a social media campaign to clear “negative” ideas on the steel flyover project and educate the people on the benefits of having the flyover.

“We will explain the facts about the project and advantages of the bridge through social media,” Siddaramaiah told reporters at Mysore Airport in Mandakalli near here. Siddaramaiah said the state government had gathered people’s opinion in June and 73% of them had supported construction of the bridge.

Bengaluru Development Minister K J George has held a meeting with Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda and BJP MLAs in this regard, he added.
