Regardless of which party assumes power, be it the Congress or the BJP, the new government will reportedly place emphasis on at least three transport and traffic-related projects and a policy concerning e-rickshaws.

Some UDH officials strongly believe that, regardless of the party forming the government, an official inauguration of this project for the second time is highly likely.
