New Delhi, Mar 28: Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani today had a dig at the government for poor record in implementation of projects saying they take years to be completed. "Sarkari kaam to aise hi hote hain, salo saal chalte rehte hain"(government functioning is like that, it continues for years), Advani said at the foundation stone laying ceremony of Indian Exposition Mart.
As the Rs 170 crore mart is being set up with private initiative, Advani said he could express confidence that the project would be completed as scheduled by the end of 2004. Had the project been set up by the government, "I couldn't have been confident that it would be completed on time," he said.
India Exposition Mart, setu as a joint venture of textile ministry, Greater Noida Development Authority, Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts and exporters aims at providing an international marketing platform and permanent contact point for both exporters and international buyers. Bureau Report
