Smart City project not ‘elitist’, says Naidu
Rejecting Congress’s criticism that the ‘Smart City’ project was “elitist” in nature, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Friday said that the NDA government’s ambitious plan was aimed at benefiting “the poor who are forced to live on the fringes of growing urbanisation.”
Putting his claim to the test at a session on Housing-for- All in urban areas here, Naidu asked the members of the audience to give a frank opinion on whether they thought that the Smart City project was “pro-rich”.
