In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Annamalai said the then Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation General (retired) V.K. Singh had clarified in the Parliament on constructing a new airport in Hosur. He said the Minister had stated that no airport could be constructed within 150 km radius of the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru for a period of 25 years since 2008 as per the agreement between the Centre and the Bengaluru International Airport Limited.
Mr. Annamalai also said that the Minister had also clarified that the Tamil Nadu government could enter into an agreement with the private-owned Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited (TAAL) in Hosur for operating flights.
“Instead of developing the existing airport in Hosur, Mr. Stalin announced for construction of a new International Airport in Hosur for the sake of publicity.. Without fulfilling the poll promises and announcements made in Assembly, earlier, Mr. Stalin is making impossible announcements to deceive whom?” he questioned.
