Planning Commission and the head of Hyderabad Metro officially denigrated Mr.Sridharan when he said exactly what everyone now says with 20/20 hindsight. &lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6693" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hyderabad Metro Rail Project and the quagmire of scandalous politics | Infinite Loop - Vivek Sanghi's Web Diary</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/an_awkward_corner/archive/2009/01/27/maytas-truths-how-should-public-infrastructure-be-funded.aspx#6640</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:39:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:6640</guid><dc:creator>Hyderabad Metro Rail Project and the quagmire of scandalous politics | Infinite Loop - Vivek Sanghi's Web Diary</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Pingback from &amp;nbsp;Hyderabad Metro Rail Project and the quagmire of scandalous politics | Infinite Loop - Vivek Sanghi's Web Diary&lt;/p&gt;

In fact, The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has over the years, earned record revenues. This is largely due to Mr. Sridharan&amp;#39;s dynamism and leadership, but also because of a very good team under him and the cutting edge technology adopted for the project. It is tragic, that the Andhra Pradesh government, gave Sridharan a short shrift and spurned down the latter&amp;#39;s offer for developing the Hyderabad Metro Rail project.&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6616" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Assorted Links &amp;laquo; Mostly Economics</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/an_awkward_corner/archive/2009/01/27/maytas-truths-how-should-public-infrastructure-be-funded.aspx#6476</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:55:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:6476</guid><dc:creator>Assorted Links « Mostly Economics</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Pingback from &amp;nbsp;Assorted Links &amp;amp;laquo; Mostly Economics&lt;/p&gt;
