MUMBAI: Union Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari said that Rs 7,000-crore international port project at Vizhinjam in Kerala might be moved to neighbouring Tamil Nadu if the political differences in the state over awarding the project to the Adani group is not resolved fast.
If there are differences in Kerala on this port, I am giving you a clear direction that we will make the international port at Colachel near Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu,” he told reporters at a press conference t to mark one year of the Narendra Modi government.
Gadkari’s warning came ahead of the all-party meet called by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in Thiruvananthapuram today to take a final call on whether to accept or reject the only bid the port project has received from the Adani group.
