NDA Promises Coimbatore Metro Rail, Accuses DMK of Sabotage

COIMBATORE, November 20, 2025 – Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan today accused the ruling DMK government of deliberately undermining the proposed Metro Rail project for Coimbatore, vowing that the NDA alliance will implement the project if elected in the upcoming state elections.

Speaking to reporters in Coimbatore, Srinivasan, who also serves as the BJP Mahila Morcha president, alleged that the DMK submitted a flawed Detailed Project Report (DPR) to the central government with the explicit goal of portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government as being anti-Tamil Nadu.

“This is false propaganda,” Srinivasan asserted, claiming the DPR was unviable due to critical oversights regarding population density and right-of-way considerations. She argued that the DMK’s actions were a politically motivated attempt to create unrest and opposition to the Prime Minister within the state. She specifically cited concerns that the current proposed alignment would lead to significant land acquisition and displacement of livelihoods in densely populated areas like Big Bazaar Street.

Srinivasan drew comparisons to Metro Rail projects approved in other cities like Agra, Bhopal, and Patna, highlighting the importance of a well-prepared DPR that accurately reflects local conditions.

“Our promise to the people of Coimbatore is when the DMK government is sent home and the NDA forms the next government, we will submit a revised DPR and implement the Metro Rail project in Coimbatore,” Srinivasan declared, emphasizing the NDA’s commitment to the project under a potential AIADMK-led government with Edappadi K. Palaniswami as Chief Minister.
