Release documents, Kateel told
Minister U T Khader challenged MP Nalin Kumar Kateel to release documents on him and former MLA J R Lobo posing hindrance to the work on NH 66.
He said, “The MP could not complete the work as promised. Now, he is creating confusion in the minds of the people by issuing false statements. The NHAI is entrusted with the work of four-laning the NH 66. The NHAI comes directly under the Central government. Let the MP furnish evidence to prove that Lobo and I had posed hurdles to benefit our community members.”
