Tuticorin: A day after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that the move against Kudankulam nuclear power project would hit the state’s development, Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa Thursday said her government would respect the sentiments of locals on the controversial project.
“As far as Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project is concerned, Tamil Nadu government will certainly act respecting the local peoples’ sentiments. I will be one among you in the issue,” she told a rally.
Her statement assumes significance as the Prime Minister Wednesday wrote to her for the second time on the issue, saying the stoppage of work at the Indo-Russian nuclear plant may hit the state’s progress as it is scheduled to get 925 MWe out of the 2×1000 MWe project.
He had also sought her continued cooperation for the implementation of the project, set to be commissioned later this year. Jayalalithaa’s assurance came even as the indefinite fast against the multi-million rupees project entered the fifth day at Idinthakarai in Tirunelveli district.
