    All money-making exercise -- Deve Gowda started the concept of piece meal contracts to help his cronies and to collect in contracts -- percentage etc. -- a single stretch from Bangalore to Mangalore is about 350 kms -- which a reputed company like L& T would have done easily except their dealings are clean - no commissions -- - so no contracts to L & T --- SURPRISINGLY MEETING DEVEGOWDA instead of CM SIDDU -- who has the ministry under his control -- FORESTS -- -- L& T surprisingly has many international contracts running into hundreds of kms -- of high quality -- --The tunneling proposal for the fragile westerns ghats will be a disaster -- unfortunately cannot learn from WAYANAD experience -----

    Gadkariji has maintained silence when it comes to Mangalore Hassan road. The four laning of this stretch seems to be slowed down deliberately. Orelse how can one believe that the road from Hassan to Nelamangala that started much after the Mangalore stretch finish faster ?
