This meeting highlights the triumph of politics over the need of the people. The new airport is a much required piece of infrastructure. The delay is being done for one reason alone. The connectivity to the new airport, a government responsibility, is not fully complete. The current elections cannot put the population to inconvenience, and highlight the failures. Immediately after the state elections, the ruling coalition is planning for new elections next year, and they would like maximum publicity and hoopla to highlight their "achievement".
