As Rajasthan gears up for the Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport’s foundation, Ashok Gehlot, ex-Chief Minister, passionately reclaimed credit for his Congress team’s groundwork, from land to approvals.
Timed perfectly a day prior to the Shambhupura event with Om Birla and Bhajan Lal Sharma, Gehlot’s remarks reignite debate on political legacies. The occasion doubles with launches of Navnera and Parvan-Akawad water projects, vital for Hadoti’s future.
The Rs 1,507 crore venture includes a spacious 20,000 sqm terminal, robust 3,200x45m runway, A-321 compatible parking, and seven aprons serving 1,000 passengers at peak.
Improved connectivity eyes booming tourism, business expansion, and holistic regional upliftment. Rooted in Rahul Gandhi’s pledge, Congress delivered: 1,250 acres free in 2021, Rs 120 crore for power shifts in 2022.
Gehlot lashed at central delays crippling it for four years, now banking on brisk quality build. He touted Congress’s Chambal Riverfront for Kota tourism, slamming BJP for stalled developments like dining spots.
‘Riverfront must flourish with maintenance to pair perfectly with the airport, propelling Hadoti,’ Gehlot advised. Expected dignitaries: Ministers Naidu, Dilawar, Choudhary, Devendra, Nagar, plus MLAs, BJP chiefs Jain and Gochar, officials.
