Mysore/Mysuru: What was meant to be an Economic Corridor that would herald progress, the 10-lane Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway project has turned into a battleground of sorts between political rivals BJP and Congress. At ground zero, these political opponents have been taking pot-shots at each other to take credit for the project.
Two days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to dedicate the Expressway at Gejjalagere near Mandya, the BJP and the Congress locked horns over credit for the project. The Congress is attempting to steal the limelight from the BJP which is aiming to make inroads into the Vokkaliga heartland of Mandya belt, focussing on the development plank and citing the example of the Expressway project.
