The AAP government has "stonewalled" the progress of the Delhi's Metro's Phase-IV project, leading to "substantial delay" and inconvenience to people, Union government sources claimed Monday.
The fresh accusation comes amid an apparent tussle between the Centre and the Delhi government after the Arvind Kejriwal dispensation imposed a condition of 50-50 per cent operational loss sharing while giving approval to the Phase-IV of the metro network late last month.
A Delhi government spokesperson countered the allegation, saying, the city government has already cleared the project from its side and "any delay that is now happening is from the Centre's side".
Highly-placed sources in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (HUA) alleged that "delay tactics of the Delhi government has derailed the metro Phase-IV project".
The Delhi government has "stonewalled" the progress of the Delhi Metro's Phase-IV project, leading to "substantial delay" and "causing inconvenience to people", the sources alleged.
However, the city government spokesperson said, "The Phase-IV project was cleared in December and we had made conditions quite clear."
