Congress leader V D Satheesan on Saturday said that his party and the UDF were not opposed to any high-speed rail project. ‘Metroman’ E Sreedharan, who has been advocating a high-speed train project, said Kerala required faster mobility solutions. Satheesan said he was attacked by those who claimed that he opposed the state government’s K-Rail project but welcomed a project proposed by the Centre. “We realised it would create an environmental disaster in Kerala and would destroy the state financially. That is why we objected to it,” he said.
