The octogenarian technocrat and famed Metro man Sreedharan has announced that he would be stepping away from active politics from now on and that he would not be running around political parties anymore. Sreedharan is credited to have built the Metro rain in Delhi, Konkan Railways along the west coast and several other prestigious projects.
Sreedharan is said to have taken the decision to quit active politics after the election results in Kerala. He was projected as the BJP’s Chief Ministerial candidate in the recent Kerala assembly elections, but couldn’t win in his own assembly constituency, from Palghat. Sreedharan quitting from active politics is sure to rankle the BJP, which was eyeing some improvement in its performance in the state of Kerala. Now the party is left without any major vote-catching personality in the state.
Sreedharan built the first Metro rain in the country in Delhi in 1995 and was entrusted with the responsibility of constructing the Konkan Railway project after his retirement. The project was considered nearly impossible, but he managed to build it in record time. He was given the responsibility of Phase II of the Metro project in Delhi as well. He retired in 2011 and has earned the name Metro Man ever since.
